Chargers trade LT Okung to Panthers for G Trai Turner

Chargers take LT 1.6, Turner at G, Feeney at C as you can't rely on Pouncey to play 16 games....that's already an upgrade on 3 spots from last year.    RT could use an upgrade, but that's a massive addressing of their glaring weakness.

I would not be shocked at all to see LAC to put a hard court press on TB12 now - those weapons, and an OL that's fixed, would be incredibly attractive to him.    That team is built to win now - remember, the 2018 team won 12 games, and with an upgrade on QB and OL, that's a top 5 team talent-wise. 

Really could change the dynamic of the draft if LAC went T 1.6.

Not a bad trade for the Panthers. Turner disappointed last season. They need a LT that can start while they see what they have in Greg Little and Dennis Daley. Okung is going to be back with his old o-line coach in Carolina. So if it anyone can tap into that well it'll be him. Panthers desperately need help on the defensive side of the ball. That's probably where they are going at #7.

It was a joke

I don't know.  It's not totally unthinkable that somewhere in Tepper's hedge fund they also own a farm that they could trade.  But what is Mike Brown gonna do with a farm?  I mean, can you really see this guy living that Old MacDonald life?

Chargers fans what does this mean for Forrest Lamp?

He has had an unlucky and injury plagued career unfortunately. With that being said, he could still be in competition for one of the other guard spots. Maybe Campen will save his career.

Good players the Panthers had going into this off-season:

Cam Newton - might not be on the team next season
Christian McCaffrey - a RB whose prime is about to be wasted on a rebuilding team
DJ Moore - more than likely won't have a QB worth a damn to throw to him
Greg Olsen - cut
Trai Turner - traded
KK Short - recovering from season ending injury
Luke Kuechly - retired
Shaq Thompson - signed to gigantic deal, meanwhile...
James Bradberry - ... word is we are letting a borderline top ten corner walk

lmfao! Marty Hurney is a genius!

Reminder that the Panthers traded two picks to jump for Greg Little in last year's draft. And now have traded for Okung. Firing Gettleman is the worst mistake this franchise has ever made, regardless of what he's doing with the Giants. The team was simply one of the best in the NFL when he was running the ship. Hard to even care about this POS team these days.

Gettleman would have cut Olsen and Thomas Davis a couple years ago.
Trai Turner has been below average since signing his deal. 
James Bradberry is not worth 15 million a year.

Gettleman feasted with Hurney’s team.

Gettleman didn't want to cut them. They both had a year or two on their deals and were already asking for extensions. No GM with a clue would do that.

Turner is the best OL the Panthers have and is pretty rock solid, if not a Pro Bowl caliber player.

Realistically, not a single football player should be paid $15m per year to play a stupid game but Bradberry is probably the best defender on the team now and we're gonna let him walk.

Gettleman drafted or signed Short, Star, Peanut, Coleman, Mitchell, Mikell, CMC, Samuel, Moton, Shaq, Turner, Norwell, Daryl, Benji, Funchess, Ginn, Tolbert, Bradberry, Harper, Palardy, and various other players who led to our playoff run. Hurney built the core nucleus with Cam, Luke, TD, Greg, and Kalil, sure... but... the team never did anything when Hurney ran the team with that nucleus. Gettleman did. No Hurney stan can ever defend this because he is indefensible. Dude doesn't have a clue on how to do anything besides draft 1st rounders.
