The Carolina Panthers are going to pick up quarterback Bryce Young's fifth-year option before the deadline. However, speculation remains that the franchise could give him a longer-term commitment at some point during the offseason.
General manager Dan Morgan stated that he was still discussing the possibility of Young receiving additional financial security. Fans are divided on the issue, but it couldn't be dismissed entirely after the former Alabama star made some encouraging strides in 2025.
Young's outlook looks a lot more promising now. Whether it's enough for the Panthers to make a larger commitment is anyone's guess, but one team insider hinted that the signal-caller would be more than willing to bide his time.
