The Carolina Panthers have made a major move in the NFL offseason, signing quarterback Bryce Young to a four-year, $38 million contract, according to an Associated Press source. The move comes after the Panthers released former starter Teddy Bridgewater earlier this month.
Young, who was the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, is expected to be the Panthers’ starting quarterback for the upcoming season. He is coming off a stellar college career at the University of Alabama, where he was a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist and won the Maxwell Award as the nation’s top player in 2020.
Young is known for his strong arm and accuracy, and he has the potential to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league. He has the ability to make all the throws and can extend plays with his feet. He also has a great understanding of the game and is a natural leader.
The Panthers are hoping that Young can help turn around a team that has struggled in recent years. They have not made the playoffs since 2017 and have not won a playoff game since 2015. Young will be expected to lead the Panthers back to the postseason and help them compete for a championship.
The signing of Young is a major move for the Panthers and could be a sign of good things to come for the franchise. It will be interesting to see how Young performs in his first season in the NFL and if he can help the Panthers reach their goals.
