Colts, Panthers Linked In Blockbuster Trade
Miles Sanders Is Not Part Of The Long-Term Plans For The Carolina Panthers, And The Team Could Trade Him To The Colts.
Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders is one of the most popular names on the trade market. A second-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina’s former regime spent big on the running back following his 1,200-yard 2022. Unfortunately, the Penn State product could not replicate his success in 2023, averaging a paltry 3.3 yards per attempt while losing the starting job to longtime backup Chuba Hubbard. With a new head coach and general manager selected Jonathon Brooks in the second round, it seems it’s only a matter of time before Carolina parts ways with the veteran.
Miles Sanders didn’t work out in Carolina, but that doesn’t mean nobody will be interested in trading for him. Perhaps he’ll never recapture his 2022 form, but the running back proved he can be an adequate starter and above-average backup in the right system. In a recent article, Bleacher Report detailed why the Colts should take a shot on Sanders.
Colts Urged To Trade For Panthers Running Back Miles Sanders
The Colts make perfect sense as a Miles Sanders trade destination. Running back production is highly dependent upon supporting cast, and Indianapolis can re-create the environment that allowed Sanders to thrive in 2022. Philadelphia’s old offensive coordinator Shane Steichen is now the Colts head coach, the team has a mobile quarterback in Anthony Richardson, and the offensive line is reliable. All these factors should combine to bring out the best in the former Eagle.
