Former Ravens Pro Bowler Jadeveon Clowney may be on the trade block this season and Chargers, Chiefs are among four possible fits. According to one report, the Panthers could move on from Clowney by the NFL Trade Deadline. Numerous trades have been involving Davante Adams, Amari Cooper and now DeAndre Hopkins in the AFC, so it might be Clowney next since the Panthers are likely to tank at 1-6. However, Bryce Young is returning to cover for Andy Dalton but there’s no guarantee of a playoff anymore since they would have to win every game for the rest of the year for a slim chance.
Originally selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, the veteran hasn’t amassed a ton of production with the Panthers’ defense.
