11. Carolina Panthers Fan Base Erupts Over Star RB Tyler Benson’s Reported Trade Request to Saints
The Carolina Panthers are in turmoil after reports surfaced that star running back Tyler Benson has requested a trade to their NFC South rival, the New Orleans Saints. Benson, who has been a cornerstone of the Panthers’ offense, has reportedly grown frustrated with the team’s direction under head coach Frank Reich.
Sources suggest Benson feels the team isn’t fully utilizing his abilities, especially during critical moments in recent games. “It’s not about the money,” a source close to Benson shared. “It’s about feeling valued and being part of a winning culture.”
The rumors exploded when Benson unfollowed the Panthers on social media and was spotted having dinner with Saints players Alvin Kamara and Derek Carr. Panthers fans are outraged, flooding social media with demands for answers from the front office. Meanwhile, Saints fans are thrilled at the prospect of pairing Benson with Kamara in what could be a devastating backfield duo.
