A Carolina Panthers wide receiver was kicked out of a game
There’s no hiding a wide receiver is needed for the Green Bay Packers after their Week 6 performance. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was throwing to Amari Rodgers and Juwann Winfree after Randall Cobb left with an ankle injury. With Christian Watson and Sammy Watkins out with hamstring injuries, the Packers need to add help to the position. One potential wide receiver the Packers are linked to was kicked out of a game Sunday.
The Packers have been linked to a couple of Carolina Panthers wide receivers as the Panthers are in rebuild mode. D.J. Moore and Robbie Anderson are two Panther names that analysts figure would be an upgrade for the Packers at wide receiver. Former Packers defensive back Charles Woodson thinks the Packers should offer to trade for Anderson.
Anderson appears to be unhappy in Carolina. According to Field Yates of ESPN, Anderson was confrontational with Panthers staff and players during their Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Anderson was kicked out of the game by his coach.
After multiple arguments with coaches on the sidelines, Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilkes has kicked WR Robbie Anderson out of the game and sent him to the locker room.

Not a professional look for Anderson
Anderson is dealing with a lot of stress. The Panthers are a mess right now. Anderson’s name is all over the news as potential trade fodder for the Panthers. He let his emotions get the best of him on Sunday. The emotional outburst is a potential concern to the Packers. Having a player that gets into arguments with teammates when facing adversity is not something most NFL teams want in their locker room.
The Packers must get proper context about the feud before trading for Anderson. It’s possible that he’ll be more professional in an organization like the Packers. The Packers are struggling, but they’re not in complete chaos like the Panthers are. The Packers’ wide receiver situation is so dire right now they have no choice but to take what they can get. A wide receiver with potential attitude problems might be better than Winfree or Amari.
