​Could Carolina Panthers receiver Xavier Legette be sent out east? (Or, technically, further down south?)Moe Moton of Bleacher Report cooked up that scenario on Tuesday, in an article where he suggests one trade each NFL team should make before the start of the upcoming campaign. One of Moton’s swaps sends Legette to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a mid-round 2027 draft pick.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe writes:Based on overall career production, the Dolphins have the worst wide receiver corps. If they want to see quarterback Malik Willis make strides as a first-time, full-time starter, the club should look to bolster its pass-catching group. Miami could inquire about Legette, who may need a change of scenery.Through two seasons, Legette has caught 84 passes for 860 yards and seven touchdowns in 31 contests. As a former first-round pick, he’s underwhelmed, but a new opportunity to be the No. 1 wideout in Miami could lead to increased production.As Moton notes, Carolina selected Legette as a first-rounder back in 2024—with that year’s 32nd overall pick. But he hasn’t lived up to that investment, having struggled with drops and spacial awareness over his first two pro seasons.2025 proved to be a harsh reality check for the former University of South Carolina star, who was passed in the pecking order by the team’s newer first-round wideout and eventual Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker–an undrafted signee from Legette’s class. Legette saw his on-field presence decrease down the stretch last year, and appeared in a career-low 31.4 percent of offensive snaps during Carolina’s (very meaningful) regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.If Legette fails to find his footing this summer, perhaps the Panthers may be inclined to cut their losses and move on from the struggling 25-year-old.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFollow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.This article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: Panthers WR Xavier Legette tabbed as trade target for AFC East team
