NFL Trade Rumors: Panthers' Miles Sanders Could Be Available as Brooks Nears Return
Miles Sanders Could Be on the Move
The Carolina Panthers are reportedly open to trading running back Miles Sanders, according to sources familiar with the situation. The move comes as the Panthers are nearing the return of Christian McCaffrey, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury.Sanders has been a productive player for the Panthers this season, rushing for 523 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. However, with McCaffrey expected to return soon, Sanders' role could be diminished.
Panthers Seeking Draft Compensation
The Panthers are reportedly seeking draft compensation in exchange for Sanders. The team is said to be interested in a mid-round pick, but they are willing to listen to offers from other teams.
Interested Teams
There are a number of teams that could be interested in acquiring Sanders. The Philadelphia Eagles, who drafted Sanders in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, are reportedly one of the teams that have expressed interest in a trade.
Other teams that could be interested in Sanders include the Buffalo Bills, the New York Jets, and the Chicago Bears. All three teams are in need of running back help, and Sanders could be a valuable addition to any of those offenses.
Sanders' Value
Sanders is a versatile running back who can both run and catch the ball out of the backfield. He has averaged 4.6 yards per carry this season and has also caught 22 passes for 180 yards.
Sanders is a young and talented player who could be a valuable asset to any team. He is under contract for one more season, so any team that acquires him would have control of his rights for at least the next two years.
