Young Reportedly “On Board” With a Trade

One of the most shocking developments of the NFL season’s first two weeks has been the Panthers’ decision to bench QB Bryce Young. Just a year ago, Young was the first overall pick in the draft, but his performance has fallen short of expectations. In his two games this season, Young has thrown three interceptions and no touchdowns, earning the lowest PFF grade among 38 qualifying quarterbacks. As a result, Carolina has turned to veteran Andy Dalton, who will start Sunday’s game against the Raiders.

In the wake of this decision, rumors have surfaced that Young could be traded. While Head Coach Dave Canales has denied these rumors, reports suggest that Bryce Young himself would be open to the idea. Additionally, multiple teams have reportedly contacted the Panthers regarding Young, with potential suitors including the Seahawks. Fans on social media have also floated the Giants as a possible destination.

Despite these rumors, it seems unlikely that Carolina would trade Young this season. The Panthers gave up three draft picks and star wide receiver DJ Moore to move up in the draft and select Young, making it improbable they would abandon him after just two games. With so much invested in their young quarterback, the Panthers are likely to focus on developing him properly and addressing the broader issues within the organization.

For now, Young still holds the keys to the franchise, and it seems Carolina will be committed to his growth moving forward.
