Panthers consider trade for TE Colby Parkinson from Rams

The Carolina Panthers are reportedly exploring a trade for tight end Colby Parkinson from the Los Angeles Rams. This follows a report by Bleacher Report suggesting the Panthers could acquire Parkinson in exchange for a mid-round draft pick in 2027. Currently, the Panthers lack a strong pass-catching tight end, as Ja'Tavion Sanders and Tommy Tremble have not established themselves as top targets in the offense. Parkinson recorded a career-high eight touchdowns in 2025 and has a connection to Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who coached him in Seattle. The Rams, meanwhile, have a surplus of tight ends, making Parkinson a viable target for Carolina.
