From the article

I actually do think the Panthers intend to carry 5 TEs for the moment on the active roster. But if they do end up trading Sanders away, I think they'll bring up LB Tyrell Dodson, offensive line depth, or S Isaiah Simmons.

Panthers plan to carry 5 TEs; Sanders trade would prompt depth moves elsewhere.

The source indicates the Panthers intend to carry 5 TEs on the active roster for now. If Sanders is traded, the team would likely bring up LB Tyrell Dodson, offensive line depth, or S Isaiah Simmons rather than promoting practice squad TE Ja'seem Reed, suggesting the team is not concerned about Reed being poached.
