The Carolina Panthers were subjected to a potential landing point for the wide receiver of Seattle Seahawks, DK Metcalf, which recently requested a job.
The problem is that the panthers should abandon important project capital in order to put Metcalf, which only remains for him.
It would be a risky decision for Caroline, because there is no guarantee that Metcalf would re -sign with the club in 2026.
But there is another Seahawks receiver – finally, now ancient Seahawks receiver – which could potentially interest the panthers: Tyler Lockett.
The name of Lockett has already been mentioned by many as a potential adjustment in Caroline after being released by Seattle, because Bryce Young could certainly use a safe passe sensor.
However, the 32 -year -old man would in fact not represent a very attractive acquisition for the Panthers. For what? Well, because he is clearly a decline player.
Last season, Lockett recorded 49 catches for 600 yards and a few affected in what was its least productive campaign since 2017. Consulted, it was Seattle’s N ° 3 receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Migba and Metcalf, but there is a reason for that.
Yes, there was once a time when Lockett was one of the broad out of the league, because he published four consecutive campaigns of 1,000 yards between 2019 and 2022. But it seems clear that this player has left for a long time, because Lockett has not managed to display 1,000 yards during one or the other of the last seasons.
Lockett has never been an explosive weapon; More like good security coverage. But Young already has this to Adam Thielen, who chose to return for 2025.
Panthers certainly need to bring more receivers, but they must become younger and faster. They need more dynamic game leaders for Young, and Lockett simply does not offer that at this stage of his career.
