Summary
The Panthers are eyeing Kimani Vidal as a low-cost, high-impact trade target to add depth to their shaky backfield. Vidal, who rushed for over 600 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 and proved himself as a reliable backup for the Chargers, could fill a critical insurance role. With concerns over durability and depth — especially after losing Rico Dowdle and questioning Jonathon Brooks’ consistency — Carolina may strike a deal for Vidal for a late-round pick, potentially a fifth or sixth-round selection. The Chargers, looking to move on from their backup RB, could be open to the trade, making this a win-win scenario for both teams.
