Panthers could trade for Cardinals' Collins
The Carolina Panthers could adequately replace Jadeveon Clowney by trading for Arizona Cardinals linebacker Zaven Collins, according to a recent analysis. This move would provide a short-term solution for the Panthers' defense. Collins, a former first-round pick, hasn't met expectations but offers versatility and could fill multiple positions. His addition would ease pressure on developing players like Scourton and Umanmielen, addressing the need for a replacement after Clowney's release. While Collins is considered an adequate option, some analysts suggest the Panthers should pursue Trey Hendrickson for a more impactful defensive upgrade. The team has been overhauling its defense this offseason.
