Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-louis-murphy/
Good move for the Panthers and the Raiders, IMO. The Raiders have a solid 1,2, and 3 with DHB, Jacoby Ford, and Denarius Moore. Might as well get something for a guy they weren't going to re-sign anyway. Gives the Panthers another legitimate deep threat opposite of Steve Smith.

No way. I love that guy. I really wish the Ravens could have made that trade. Louis Murphy is a real playmaker who just needs some direction. Wonder what the Panthers had to give up? Bet it wasn't much.

Probably not.
However, it's more than what the Raiders would have gotten had he played out his contract there and hit free agency.

Murphy would have been the perfect #3 receiver here. Send him deep with Torrey and let them go make something happen, Ugh! Sucks that we couldn't make this happen :thumbdown:

Honestly, I'd rather have Louis Murphy than Jacoby Jones.

Depends on what they gave up for him but he would've been a good addition.

Id agree with that. Not familiar if Murphy has ST ability or not, but hes a far better WR, imo.
Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
Jacoby Jones is looking even more like a bad signing right now.
Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
I too would have rather had Louis Murphy than Jacoby Jones. Oakland was a mess on offense, for most of his tenure there. A relocation to Baltimore would have provided him with a QB he never had and a quality WR opposite him that he never had. When he is healthy, Murphy is more consistent than Jones. If this trade was for a seventh round pick, I'll be upset.
Re: Panthers trade for Raiders' WR, Louis Murphy
i doubt if it was a 7th but I'd speculate it was no better than a 5th

Panthers remain busy...trade RT Jeff Otah to the Jets for a conditional draft pick.

potentially getting their pick back.... so they may've got Murphy for Otah
