The Carolina Panthers should be looking to build around Bryce Young, this off-season.
According to ESPN’s Matt Bowen, the Carolina Panthers could be looking to add a longtime divisional rival to bolster their offensive weaponry around franchise QB, Bryce Young, while reuniting with his former offensive coordinator.
“Evans could follow Panthers coach Dave Canales to Carolina after he had 1,255 receiving yards and a league-leading 13 touchdown catches in the same offensive system last season in Tampa Bay. Evans is still playing at an extremely high level, and he’d be an immediate (and needed) upgrade for Panthers quarterback Bryce Young as a multiple-level target with red-zone upside.”
