ICARO Media Group
In the latest NFL trade rumors, the focus is on quarterback Bryce Young, who is reportedly on the trading block this season. Bleacher Report has identified the Los Angeles Chargers and the New Orleans Saints as two top contenders looking to acquire the 3,100-yard quarterback. Young, a product of Alabama, is open to a fresh start and may be seeking opportunities outside of his current team, the Carolina Panthers.
Young's future with the Panthers seems uncertain after a string of disappointing performances, leading to his benching early in the season. With Carolina's patience wearing thin and concerns about the team's roster strength, Young is already contemplating his next career move once his rookie contract expires. Despite Carolina's statements that they are not planning to trade Young, the team's actions speak louder than words, as they have shown a willingness to move on from him.
The Chargers, led by head coach Jim Harbaugh, boast a strong offensive line which could provide Young with the support he needs to thrive. While Justin Herbert currently holds the starting position, Young could serve as a reliable backup and potentially step in if needed, especially considering Herbert's recent injury. In New Orleans, the Saints have seen success with Derek Carr at quarterback, but there are concerns about the team's playoff prospects and the possibility of making a move if needed.
The Baltimore Ravens are another team mentioned as a potential destination for Young, as they are looking to solidify their backup quarterback position behind Lamar Jackson. With injuries being a concern for Jackson, Young could offer a better alternative than the current backup, Josh Johnson. The Miami Dolphins are also in the mix, considering a future beyond Tua Tagovailoa due to health concerns, and Young could be a valuable addition as they plan for the long term. For now, the trade talks surrounding Young continue to heat up as teams assess their quarterback needs and potential opportunities for the talented young player.
