00:00D.R.S. now we go to Carolina. The Panthers have said they are not considering trading

00:10Bryce Young despite placing him on the bench at this moment. The 2023 number one overall

00:16pick with so much investment to get that first overall selection and all that was traded

00:21away for Bryce Young. Do you believe in Carolina? When they tell us they are not interested

00:28in trading Bryce Young or as we discussed earlier is it a market ploy to try to garner

00:34some interest making him seem like he's untouchable? Yeah I think it's you know it's one thing

00:39to try to say from a Carolina perspective we're not trading him because what you're

00:43trying to do is send the message to Bryce Young like look we understand you stink right

00:47now you know you stink but let's just say you're not going anywhere give you a little

00:50bit of confidence that you don't have to worry every 30 minutes that your agent is going

00:54to call they're going to be the third string quarterback in Cincinnati and have to change

00:58everything you're trying to give him hope for the future and say kid it hasn't worked

01:01out yet let's sit you down don't worry you'll take a deep breath you'll get back in in a

01:05couple weeks and we think you can be the player that we drafted number one overall and also

01:09keep in mind no other team out there is going to trade for a first round draft pick in his

01:13second season this isn't like 1977 it's like hey it's a three year deal for five total

01:18million dollars that's an expensive contract and now in the NFL with first round draft

01:22picks it's fully guaranteed so no team is going to take that on for a look see if they

01:26do cut him Carolina yes you would take him on because he clear waivers and then you go

01:30to the next franchise on a veteran or just a rookie whatever minimum salary that he would

01:35have so it doesn't make any sense for them to move on because it's right if you keep

01:38him on your roster for the next three years as a backup it's going to cost you the same

01:42then as cutting him this year and there is a chance that he can resurrect his career

01:46and learn from being on the bench and be a decent quarterback absolutely we saw that

01:50talent at Alabama so it doesn't make any decision here easier for Carolina except the money

01:56will be the same if you cut him or move on from him you might as well just keep him and

02:00hope that he can resurrect his career
