7 years agoThe Carolina Panthers may overhaul their wide receiver corps this offseason outside of Devin Funchess, Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd. Funchess was the highest rated receiver on the team, although he wasn't ever really a true No. 1 after the team traded Kelvin Benjamin to the Bills midseason. Russell Shepard was a good presence in the locker room but didn't make an impact on the field. Samuel showed flashes but mostly had a lost season due to injuries. Both he and Byrd are valuable deep threats but don't provide much else. While Funchess had a career year in Carolina in 2017, it was mainly because quarterback Cam Newton really didn't have anyone else to throw to with tight end Greg Olsen hurt for much of the season. Carolina could look to upgrade over Funchess this offseason, with Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry being a potential trade target. If the Panthers don't find any suitable upgrades, it'll once again hamper Newton's consistency in the passing game.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
