Dave Canales was asked whether he has looked into trading for a premier wide receiver like Tyreek Hill to support Bryce Young as the Panthers quarterback. The former first-round pick has struggled in his first two years as the starter in Carolina but looked good towards the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Kay Adams’ show, Dave Canales said that there have been conversations when asked by the host if\u00a0Tyreek Hill\u00a0has featured in discussions about how the franchise goes forward. He said that there has been some talk about that and while that is tempting, the Panthers’ head coach feels that they need to address the defensive side first as the worst-ranked team on that front in 2024.<\/p>\n

He added that Carolina wants to play complimentary football where they win on all sides of the ball, saying:<\/p>\n

“We had the conversations. You know, there were some, there were some interesting conversations that came up over the last couple of weeks. You know, it’s really tempting, but at the same time, like, we have to address, you know, the needs on defense first. We’re 32nd in the NFL on defense, and that’s something where our focus has gone to make sure that we can play good balance, complimentary football.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
