After firing head coach, Matt Rhule, and defensive coordinator, Phil Snow, it appears the Carolina Panthers are headed for a rebuild.
They are 1-4 this season and have a great shot at a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
NFL teams around the league are starting to recognize the rebuild in Carolina as well.
That is why some teams are calling the Panthers to see if star wide receiver, D.J. Moore, is available for trade.

The 25-year-old wide receiver has recorded 1,100+ yards in each of the last three seasons.
He is one of the best playmakers at the position in the NFL.
But, the lack of quality QB has limited his ceiling so far in his young career.
Moore would have the chance to excel on a new team, especially with a better quarterback.
Baker Mayfield has struggled to get the ball to the Panthers’ star receiver this year.
The play of Mayfield is also a big reason why the Panthers are 1-4.
So what teams would be most interested in acquiring the star receiver?
One team that should be is the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys are 4-1 and could use another explosive weapon opposite of CeeDee Lamb.
Moore would most likely command a first-round pick, but trading firsts for proven receivers is nothing new for Dallas.
They did the same thing back in 2018 when they acquired Amari Cooper from the Raiders for a first-round pick.
It would make sense for them to see what the price tag is for Moore and if they are willing to pay it.
DJ Moore in the last three years has been one the best WRs despite not so good QB play. From 2019-2021, he ranks 5th in the NFL in receiving yards (3,525). Behind Cooper Kupp, Devante Adams, Stefon Diggs and Travis Kelce in that order. Very underrated and underappreciated player

The Green Bay Packers are another team that could be interested in Moore.
They have no proven WR1 on their roster, and the Aaron Rodgers to Moore duo sounds lethal.
Ultimately, the Panthers could use as many draft picks as possible to rebuild this roster, and trading Moore would bring back a nice haul.
