While rookie receiver Jonathan Mingo was drafted in the second round this year, he’s been slow off the mark, grabbing just eight catches for 64 yards in three games.
Panthers’ general manager Scott Fitterer isn’t holding back. He’s actively seeking deals, not just for wide receivers but also possibly a safety, given Xavier Woods’ hamstring troubles.
The Panthers, despite a rocky 0-3 start, are not showing signs of desperation. They’re not looking to trade away their players for draft picks just yet and hope to turn things around.
