The Carolina Panthers are among five teams reportedly considering a trade for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones ahead of the trade deadline. Reports suggest that the Panthers may look for an upgrade at quarterback due to Bryce Young's inconsistent performance during the previous season. Jones had a stronger passer rating and QBR compared to Young in 2025, raising questions about Young's future as the franchise quarterback. If Young does not show improvement in the upcoming season, a trade for Jones may become more likely as the mid-October deadline approaches.
