But on October 9, Bleacher Report\u2019s Kristopher Knox suggested the possibility of the Steelers making another addition at quarterback with\u00a0Bryce Young.<\/p>\n<p>Knox named\u00a0the Steelers one of two potential suitor for the 2023 first overall selection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cYoung might also interest the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have a functional starter in Justin Fields but have no quarterbacks\u00a0under contract\u00a0beyond this season,\u201d\u00a0wrote Knox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cFields is still young enough to be a long-term solution for Pittsburgh. If his play slips, however, Young could be the next former first-rounder on whom the Steelers take a flier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Carolina Panthers\u00a0benched Young\u00a0after Week 2 this season. That was about 17 months after they traded up to No. 1 overall to select the Alabama quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Steelers, Knox also named the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0a potential suitor for Young.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will the Carolina Panthers Trade Bryce Young?<\/h2>\n<p>Young went one spot ahead of\u00a0C.J. Stroud\u00a0at the beginning of the 2023 NFL draft. But Young hasn\u2019t experienced anywhere near the success Stroud has.<\/p>\n<p>As an NFL starter,\u00a0Young has posted\u00a0a 2-16 record. He\u2019s completed under 60% of his passes with 11 touchdowns versus 13 interceptions. He has also averaged only 5.4 yards per attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The Panthers hired\u00a0former\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers\u00a0offensive coordinator Dave Canales as head coach to help develop Young. But after two weeks this season, Canales pulled the plug on Young, replacing him with veteran\u00a0Andy Dalton.<\/p>\n<p>Through two games, Young significantly regressed in completion percentage and yards per attempt compared to his rookie season. He also had zero touchdowns and 3 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Since his benching, pundits have speculated that the Panthers will move Young before the NFL trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand, it would make sense for Carolina to move on. But the Panthers gave up so much for the right to draft Young, it also seems unlikely that they would throw in the towel on the 23-year-old already.<\/p>\n<p>To acquire the 2023 No. 1 pick to draft Young,\u00a0the Panthers sent\u00a0two first-round selections, two second-round picks and wide receiver\u00a0DJ Moore\u00a0to the\u00a0Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, if the Panthers were to trade Young now, they would receive pennies back on that original investment.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers QB Situation as NFL Trade Deadline Approaches<\/h2>\n<p>The Steelers are an interesting possibility for Young due to a couple reasons. The team\u2019s quarterback situation is far from settled having lost back-to-back games.<\/p>\n<p>Entering Week 6,\u00a0the Steelers are ranked\u00a027th in passing offense. On paper, Young has the talent to help in the long term, and after his benching, he\u2019s a cheap reclamation project.<\/p>\n<p>Young would also give the Steelers a quarterback set to be on the roster in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact the team\u2019s quarterback situation is so unsettled might deter the Steelers from adding to the chaos with a former No. 1 pick.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson could potentially return\u00a0to start for the Steelers at some point over the next couple weeks. If that happens, Fields will move into a backup role.<\/p>\n<p>That would leave Young, if he was on the Steelers roster, without much of an opportunity to improve in practice. No. 3 quarterbacks don\u2019t receive a lot of repetitions while preparing for games.<\/p>\n<p>Knox\u2019s proposed hypothetical where Young slots in on Pittsburgh\u2019s roster as Fields\u2019 backup sounds appealing. But it can\u2019t really happen while Wilson is still on the roster even if he isn\u2019t starting.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming the Steelers sign Fields to a long-term deal, perhaps the team could pursue Young in 2025 after Wilson departs in free agency. But there\u2019s no guarantee Young will still be available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyBleacher Report&#8217;s Kristopher Knox argued the Pittsburgh Steelers are a potential landing spot for Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young.
