The team could elect to attend before making a long-term commitment given the previous Heisman winner\u2019s incremental progress on the NFL level. Young himself would welcome an extension, nonetheless, and a report from last month indicated the Panthers could oblige.<\/p>\n<p>GM\u00a0<strong>Dan Morgan\u00a0<\/strong>addressed the Young situation during an interview with Sirius XM\u2019s Adam Schein (audio <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MadDogRadio\/status\/2049496209107173477\">link<\/a>). He said a multiyear deal is \u201csomething that we\u2019re talking about here internally,\u201d adding \u201cwe\u2019ll do it at the precise time.\u201d It would thus be interesting to see if negotiations with Young\u2019s camp happen throughout the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cObviously he got here into a very rough situation when it comes to coaching staff, perhaps you would say the talent around him wasn\u2019t great as well,\u201d <\/em>Morgan said of Young. <em>\u201cI feel you see him just convalescing and higher each yr. Understanding the offense, he\u2019s such a great processor, and a man that\u2019s only a pleasure to have across the constructing day by day. As you see him mature, you see him develop into a greater leader each yr. And the operation\u2019s getting faster yearly. So we actually feel just like the arrow is up with Bryce.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Young set a brand new profession high in several categories throughout the 2025 season, although his 188 passing yards per game average and 87.8 passer rating left plenty to be desired. The 24-year-old totaled 23 touchdown passes while helping Carolina win the NFC South, but he added 11 interceptions along the best way. One other step forward will likely be required for Young to be considered among the many game\u2019s top quarterbacks and thus justify an extension near the highest of the market. 10 passers currently collect between $51MM and $60MM per yr on average.<\/p>\n<p>Young could look to hitch that group when his next deal is signed, especially with the NFL\u2019s salary cap continuing to rise. How his asking price compares to the Panthers\u2019 valuation will likely be value monitoring closely, though. Carolina has the power to attend out the 2026 season before engaging in serious extension talks. Whether or not Morgan and Co. decide to achieve this will little question depend largely on how internal discussions fare over the near future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Panthers made the expected move of picking up\u00a0Bryce Young\u2018s fifth-year option earlier this week.
