Panthers Could Turn Benched TE Into Starting CB

The Carolina Panthers could turn their fourth-string tight end, who is currently inactive, into a starting cornerback, according to Ben Solak of ESPN. In his recent column, Solak projected the Chicago Bears trading a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Panthers for tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders. He notes that the Bears’ desperation at tight end could make a deal happen. “Sanders has been a healthy scratch in Carolina for much of the season despite his draft status as a 2024 fourth-round selection,” wrote Solak.
