NFL Rumors: Panthers Seen as Willing to 'Eat Salary' in McCaffrey, Anderson Trades

According to the Washington Post's Jason La Canfora, the Carolina Panthers are willing to eat salary to complete trades.

Matt Rhule was fired as Carolina's head coach on Monday.

The teams will be looking for trades, according to Jay.

One of the best offensive weapons in the league will be on a wish list. During his career, the running back has averaged 62.1 rushing yards and 50.8 receiving yards per game, and he was first-team All- Pro in 2019.

Through five games, he has 512 yards from scrimmage and three touchdown

He has missed 23 games in the last two years due to injuries, but he is still a star on the field.

His initial four-year contract may have been a holdup in a potential trade. The panthers can help facilitate a deal by taking on more money and adding assets for a rebuild.

Spotrac states that Anderson will have an $11 million cap hit in 2022. and $21.7 million cap hit in 2023. He has 13 catches for 206 yards and a touchdown on the season.

If the Carolinas eat most of his salary in 2020, the 29-year-old could still be a high upside option.
