A piece of the Article from the Athletic which first reported the 49ers interest:

You probably heard: The Panthers are interested in finding an upgrade for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

The rest of the NFL has gotten the message, as well: San Francisco is among the teams that have called Carolina to gauge the Panthers’ interest in potentially trading Bridgewater, according to league sources. San Francisco general manager John Lynch indicated last week the 49ers would like to find a solid backup as insurance for oft-injured starter Jimmy Garoppolo.

The Panthers aren’t going to just give Bridgewater away, especially considering they may need him after they’ve exhausted all the other possibilities. Coach Matt Rhule and general manager Scott Fitterer have other needs, but none is as critical as quarterback.

Owner David Tepper was pretty clear on that subject when talking to reporters in December after Marty Hurney was fired.

“Unless you have that guy — for sure — that gets you to playoffs and Super Bowls, you have to keep re-evaluating that,” Tepper said. “Because that’s the only thing that matters, is Super Bowls. And until you have that guy, you’re evaluating, evaluating, evaluating every year.”

So the Panthers will keep looking this offseason, a process that could extend into the summer depending on how long the Texans are willing to stare down Deshaun Watson — and how long the Panthers are willing to wait.

That is a very expensive backup. I'd be pumped to get rid of that contract 

Yeah there’s no chance they trade for Teddy to backup Jimmy, that makes zero sense. They’d have like $40-50M tied up into pretty crap QBs...

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.

      Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
