Panthers To Acquire Russell Okung; Trai Turner To Bolts
5 years agoThe Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers have tentatively agreed to a swap that would send left tackle Russell Okung to the Panthers in exchange for offensive guard Trai Turner, according to sources. The trade is expected to be processed at the start of the league year. If quarterback Cam Newton (foot) remains in the team's plans, this move should help ensure he's better protected on his blind side in 2020. Turner is in his prime and carries a $12.8 million salary cap hit this year, which rises to $15.39 million in 2021. He should be a solid building block for the Bolts offensive line, but it remains to be seen who they'll be protecting with Philip Rivers out of the picture.
