If a team is looking for a tight end on the cheap ahead of today's trade deadline, then the Carolina Panthers may have an answer.
When making note of the market at the position, ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler suggested Ja'Tavion Sanders as a "low-cost option." Fowler floats Sanders' name as an alternative to the likes of Detroit's Sam LaPorta and Denver's Evan Engram . . .
Another TE on the radar is Broncos' Evan Engram, who has garnered interest. But he's considered unlikely to be moved in part because Denver doesn't have a replacement (though the Broncos have called around just in case)
