Panthers analyze Xavier Legette for potential 2026 trade

The Carolina Panthers are evaluating wide receiver Xavier Legette as a potential trade candidate this season. Legette, a former first-round pick, has struggled to meet expectations in his three years with the team, recording 84 receptions for 860 yards and seven touchdowns. General manager Dan Morgan sees potential for improvement, though analysts suggest the Panthers might only secure a late-round pick in a trade. Discussions about Legette's future come after the team's recent draft decisions and the introduction of new talent into the receiving corps. For now, the Panthers will monitor Legette's performance as the season progresses.
