The Carolina Panthers are contemplating a trade that could reunite quarterback Bryce Young with his former college teammate, wide receiver Jameson Williams. With the NFL draft approaching, the Panthers are exploring their options, particularly around the fifth-year options for their 2022 draft class. If they're hesitant to extend these players, they might opt to trade them instead, potentially allowing for new opportunities to bring in players like Williams, who excelled with Young during his Heisman-winning season.

Williams, who had a remarkable college career with 1,572 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in 2021, presents a dynamic threat that the Panthers currently lack. His speed and ability to stretch the field could significantly enhance an offense that struggled with yardage last season. Whether the Lions will agree to trade Williams, especially after he posted his first 1,000-yard season, remains uncertain as the draft looms closer.
