THE Carolina Panthers still claim they’re not interested in dealing their second-year quarterback, Bryce Young. However, they are still receiving calls from several interested teams, according to a report from Dianna Russini, NFL Insider at The Athletic.

However, fans probably shouldn’t expect a quick resolution to this story. Apparently the consensus is that they are happy enough with Young’s progress last week against Denver to wait now.

“It’s no surprise that the Carolina Panthers continue to receive multiple calls from teams interested in trading for former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young. At this time, Carolina is not considering not move the quarterback, who will start Sunday against the Saints The Panthers were encouraged by his improvements and overall commitment to the team when he returned to the field last week. The team is evaluating everything this offseason and making a decision on Young’s future in Carolina.

They can insist they don’t trade Young as much as they want, but if they get an offer they like before Tuesday’s trade deadline, the Panthers will take the deal. However, there’s a good chance the return they would get would be better passed on – according to Jonathan Jones a fourth round draft pick is the best offer they would be likely to receive.

Meanwhile, other reporting from Joe Person of The Athletic suggests the Panthers want at least a second-rounder for Young. Unless Young absolutely smokes the Saints on Sunday against a defense he’s struggled against, they’re not going to get that, which is why waiting until the offseason is probably the best move for Carolina at the moment.
