Have not heard this one before. Miami is an often mentioned trade but The Athletic put this out:
Tennessee Titans
QB Will Levis for Young and one of Panthers’ 2025 fifth-round picks
Levis has struggled early in his second season, though shoddy pass protection — sound familiar? — continues to be the biggest problem in Nashville. He has made some brutal mistakes, mind-boggling even, but has done some good things as well (“Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln …”). Levis has plenty of talent and showed more promise last season than Young has demonstrated in the NFL. This change of scenery could benefit both, especially Young, though the Titans would be gambling that last season didn’t beat the confidence out of him altogether. As Andy Dalton just confirmed, the Panthers have made offensive improvements. Levis is another big, physical quarterback who has no confidence issues.
The draft compensation addresses the financial difference between the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 and Levis’ second-round deal. The dead cap is substantial for the Panthers, but Levis has just $4 million in guaranteed money left on his deal, per Over the Cap, and Carolina would still get the rest of this season and the next two if needed to evaluate and develop him. If the Panthers think he has the goods to figure it out, this move is worth one of their fifth-rounders (one from the New York Giants).
And they said...there is this:
Of course, the Panthers would have to want to trade Bryce Young for a deal to happen, and to this point they’ve shown no inclination in moving on from last year’s No. 1 pick. First-year coach Dave Canales said last week the Panthers weren’t considering a trade of Young in the wake of his benching 18 games into his NFL career.
And when several teams contacted the Panthers last week to see if the 23-year-old Young was available, they were told he was not, as The Athletic reported.
Of course, that could change if Dalton continues to perform like he did last weekend, when the 36-year-old became the first quarterback this season to throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns. Dalton stayed in the pocket, went through all his progressions and wasn’t afraid to push the ball downfield — three things Young had struggled with in the Panthers’ two lopsided losses.
I personally was not sold on Levis...all depends n what Canales thinks. This article mentions the Raiders as an interested party.
