The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Panthers will keep QB Bryce Young.
There was smoke around the idea that the Panthers would at least listen to offers for Young, but apparently they didn’t like what they heard. Ultimately it’s not surprising as most teams view quarterback as a position to upgrade in the offseason — perhaps the Panthers will eventually move on from Young then. Young, 23, looks likely to start against the Giants this week after playing one of the better games of his career in a win over the Saints in Week 9.

His value is tanked because he tanked it via his performance. It will not get but so much better whatever he does (reasonable expectations being applied).

But the cap hit situation made it very unlikely anything would be done regardless, until after the season is over and they can absorb having everything accelerated to the cap as a result of his absence.

As long as Bryce is playing serviceable they are going to want to keep him. The Panthers need for Bryce to pan out

It depends how you define "Pan out", if you mean by serviceable then they need to trade him. If you think he is still capable of being a top 10 qb one day then that's a reason to keep him. The panthers didn't draft bryce to be serviceable, they drafted him to be significantly more than that. Being serviceable doesn't guarantee you anything in the nfl. Serviceable is honestly just being a good backup.

They need him to be a good quarterback, he needs to play well. Drafting another quarterback would set this team back years, and we have holes all over the roster. The best-case is that he plays well enough for us to trade back in the first round and acquire several picks. Because of all this, as long as he is not awful, they are going to play him.

That said, I can't tell you what Canales and Morgan are thinking. They may want to bring in their own guy, and I can understand that too.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
