The Falcons could trade struggling tight end Kyle Pitts to division rival Carolina Panthers, giving Bryce Young a top target while reshaping Atlanta's roster.

The preseason is mercifully over for the Carolina Panthers, who went 0-3 and didn't look particularly impressive at any point except for one touchdown drive led by Bryce Young against the Browns. While the 2025 draft class looked strong, there wasn't much else to like - including the team's quarterback depth getting exposed in a bad way.

Pittsburgh (1-1) faces Carolina (0-2) at Bank of America Stadium with kickoff at 7 p.m. ET on NFL Network, with streaming options available on multiple platforms.
