Carolina Panthers Bench Bryce Young Amid Trade Rumors

The Carolina Panthers are facing a significant dilemma regarding quarterback Bryce Young, who was benched for veteran Andy Dalton following an 0-2 start to the season. This decision has sparked trade rumors, with multiple teams reportedly gauging interest in Young, although the Panthers have publicly stated they are not looking to trade him at this time. Young's initial high draft status is now contrasted by declining value, as he struggles to perform amid a roster depleted by past trades. Dalton's recent success has further complicated the situation, potentially diminishing Young's trade value. Analysts suggest that if the Panthers continue to underperform, they might reconsider their stance on trading Young, who carries a hefty salary commitment for any acquiring team. Possible suitors could include the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, and Los Angeles Rams, should the Panthers opt to move on from the former first overall pick.
