Carolina Panthers star Robbie Anderson may have just played his last game for the franchise after he was incredibly kicked out of his side’s NFL loss to the LA Rams by his own coach.
The wide receiver has been the subject of trade rumors and it appears they will only ramp up after he had two separate arguments with WRs coach Joe Dailey and was spotted sitting by himself on the sidelines.

Interim coach Steve Wilks, who took charge of the team following Matt Rhule’s sacking last week, was furious and sent the 29-year-old to the locker room during the last quarter.
Anderson didn’t have a target in the first three quarters and was left off the field for a crucial third down play. He has struggled this year aside from week one when he topped 100 yards and scored a touchdown.
The wide receiver signed a two-year extension until 2023 worth U$29.5 million with more than $20 guaranteed on the eve of last season.
After the 24-10 loss, Wilks stood by his actions and said “no individual is bigger than the team”.
“I don’t want to put a lot of energy on one individual,” he added.
Anderson said he was confused and upset by the coach’s decision to send him from the field.
“I was confused, honestly. I was honestly confused because I want to be in the game,” he said.
“My job is to do all I can to help us win. It’s third down. I’m being taken out of the game. I don’t think I should be OK with that.
“It’s the money down. Why am I being taken out? That’s it.”
The Panthers are languishing at the bottom of the NFC South with just one win from six matches.
