OTAs are in full swing across the NFL, but GMs are still working, still on the phones, seeing how rosters can be further improved late into the offseason. For the Carolina Panthers, there won't be any Myles Garrett or AJ Brown-type blockbuster move they'll make. Carolina can still add to this roster, though, and even add sure-fire starters that could still be available. The defensive line has already seen some new talent added, as the Panthers used their second-round pick to draft Lee Hunter out of Texas Tech. Even with drafting Hunter, there's another potential starter who is more of a proven commodity in the NFL that could be traded.

Moton outlines how Payne's production has dipped since earning his lucrative contract extension, and that the Commanders have a potential building block nose tackle in Jer'Zhan Newton.Moton didn't list any potential trade destinations, but the Panthers would make a ton of sense, especially with Daron Payne entering the final year of his deal. Had Payne still had two or three years left on his contract, the Panthers would just be better off seeing what they have in Lee Hunter right away.
