The Carolina Panthers took the big step of benching Bryce Young after just two games this season. Teams around the league reportedly believe it’s just a matter of time before the quarterback is traded — and they have interest in a potential deal for the former No. 1 pick.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that “several teams” have shown interest in a trade for Young.
According to Schefter, teams have contacted the Panthers about a potential Young trade, while other teams have at least considered the possibility of attempting to trade for him. Schefter says a trade of Young would most likely come in the offseason.
The Panthers selected Young with the No. 1 overall pick last year. He has gone 2-16 as a starter, though he hasn’t exactly been placed in a good situation. The Panthers fired several coaches during Young’s rookie season and then brought in a new head coach this year. They also didn’t let Young work through his struggles this season and instead decided to bench him after just two games.
