The Carolina Panthers are trying to do two things at the trade deadline — buy and sell.
And during the bye week, it was reported that the Panthers are gauging other teams' interest in cornerback Donte Jackson.
In the end, it's a move in line with the direction the Panthers are heading after ESPN reported that Carolina had received inquiries regarding Jackson.
"The Panthers also have received an inquiry on cornerback Donte Jackson, who’s on a reasonable contract ($1.08 million base salary this year, with a $4 million base in 2024 along with $5.7 million in roster and per-game bonuses)," Fowler writes. "But quality corners are hard to give up, so he’s considered less available than the other two [Wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and safety Jeremy Chinn]."
The latest development comes from Joe Person of The Athletic, who reported the Panthers reached out to various teams to see the level of interest.
The Panthers are in a weird position. As the trade deadline nears, and the team looks to sell off pieces that may not be a part of the future, Jackson could be on the way out far sooner than originally thought.
