In 2023, the Carolina Panthers acquired Adam Thielen to serve as their WR1. Unfortunately, his tenure with the NFC South club has not met expectations, leading to rumors that he could be traded this year.

Last season, the Panthers undertook a complete offensive rebuild, aiming to surround rookie quarterback Bryce Young with top-tier talent for immediate success.

However, things have not unfolded as anticipated. The team is far from being a contender, and speculation suggests they may part ways with several players to restructure the roster for the coming years.

Unfortunately, the situation has not gone according to plan for the NFC South team. Young has struggled to meet expectations, and naturally, his wide receivers have been affected by his underperformance.

This season, Adam Thielen has faced challenges, including a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for multiple games. Obviously, his numbers have not been the best for that reason.

“For me, I handle my business one day at a time,” Thielen said, via Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer. “That’s why you have an agent, and you have a G.M., right? That’s for them to figure out. I don’t have a no-trade clause, so they can do whatever they want.”

Will the Panthers trade Bryce Young?

Another prominent name in the trade rumors is quarterback Bryce Young. His lackluster performance has led many to speculate that the team may consider parting ways with him soon.
