The Carolina Panthers have decided to bench their 2023 No. 1 overall pick, Bryce Young, in favor of experienced quarterback Andy Dalton. ESPN's Dan Graziano has mentioned the Seattle Seahawks as a possible trade location for Young, along with the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets.
Despite Young's potential, the Seahawks may not benefit from acquiring him due to his poor performance so far compared to their new acquisition, Sam Howell. Howell has shown marked improvement under Seattle’s offensive scheme, raising questions about Young's readiness to lead an NFL team effectively.
Additionally, the impressive play of Seahawks' starting quarterback Geno Smith this season complicates the scenario. With Seattle focusing on championship contention, trading for Young could impede their progress. The Panthers, having invested heavily in Young, may need to re-evaluate their approach and allow him time to develop.
