Panthers GM Dan Morgan is asked if he considered trading QB Bryce Young
According to Carolina Panthers president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan, quarterback Bryce Young was never really on the market.
Morgan took some time to chat with reporters on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the passing of the league's trade deadline. He was asked about the speculation regarding a possible move of the 2023 No. 1 overall pick.
"We never got into any discussions," Morgan replied. "I never opened that door. Didn't want to trade Bryce, still don't and committed to working with him and helping him grow and helping him develop."
As the assistant general manager last season, Morgan was one of the many voices within the organization who backed the selection of Young. That decision has yet to pay off for the Panthers, who are just 3-17 in his 20 career starts.
Young has, however, sparked a little bit of hope with his recent performances—including this past Sunday's 23-22 win over the New Orleans Saints.
