According to ESPN (via a league source) the Carolina Panthers are interested in trading running back DeShaun Foster.
There had been speculation that Foster, 28, could be a salary cap casualty, but it appears the Panthers believe they can get something in return for their leading rusher from last season. Foster is heading into the last season of a three-year, $14.5 million contract extension he signed in 2006 and he’s scheduled to have a whopping $5.8 million salary cap figure in 2008.
At $5.8 million, I’m sure teams will wait to see if Carolina cuts Foster before dealing anything to them for an injury-riddled back.
