Last year, the Carolina Panthers made a big and exciting trade. They picked Bryce Young, and they got the first pick in the draft. Now, they are getting themselves ready for the future and building a team for 2023 and even more years ahead of them.
The Panthers have been talking to lots of other teams this season about maybe swapping their main wide receiver for someone else, sources say.
Carolina Panthers are searching for another better-off wide receiver because they have two main players, DJ Chark and Adam Thielen, who have gained more than 100 yards in the games this season.
They need someone to take Bryce Young’s place, but he will be back to begin today’s game, even though he had a little break as a result of an ankle injury.
The Carolina team picked a new receiver by the name of Jonathan Mingo in the second round last year. But he did not start very fast, catching only eight passes for 64 yards in three games.”
Few things are more important to Carolina than having a young No. 1 QB feel comfortable and successful. Despite having plenty of opportunities, Young completed 59.2% of his passes for a good 299 yards, two touchdowns, as well as two interceptions through two games.
Perhaps another starting WR will help Young’s development. Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer has said he’s willing to participate in any deal, and this is one example of that. Sources said the team may also trade safety Xavier Woods, who is suffering from a hamstring injury.
George Paton is Someone that Always Responds to Trade Calls
Despite starting the season 0-3, the Panthers have not informed other teams of their interest in trading away players for draft picks, officials said. Of course, with the first month of the season gone by and a full month until the league’s October 31 trade deadline, teams are still figuring out who they are, so it’s still too early for most trades. It’s a little early.
For example, sources say the Broncos are not in sell mode despite their historic loss to the Dolphins last week. Denver general manager George Paton is someone who always responds to trade calls, and Cortland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy are two receivers who have garnered interest from traders this offseason. But Denver isn’t there yet.
Sometimes, people talk about trading very good receivers, especially when their team is not doing very well. Justin Jefferson, a great player for the Vikings, heard these talks last week.
But it would not really make sense for the Vikings to trade him or Kirk Cousins, who is an important player and cannot be traded without his say. The Vikings did well last year and made it to the playoffs, and that is all the more reason to keep players like Jefferson.
“I am getting tired of people talking about what will happen next year or if we will change teams or stuff like that,” Jefferson said to reporters last Thursday. “Right now, all we are thinking about is doing the best we can this season.”
