Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

[Tbe]

Per his presser.

Yeah, that might have been a foregone conclusion before Saturdays game, it seems like it had to be one after.

[LinvilleGorge]

Understandable. Buys us time. 5th year option? All things considered I'm fine with it. A long-term franchise QB contract talks need to be completely off the table though.

Smart move - now draft a developmental QB or sign a legitimate backup to compete and push him to be better.  Andy Dalton is washed and should be released.

Well it depends on the price, if he's willing to get paid like the 20th best QB, I'm fine with a long term contract lol.  But if he wants top 10 or 15 money, nope.

Dan just said a long term contract for BY this year is still an option.

It's the move that makes the most sense.  He gets another year.  If he shows another year of growth and more consistency then you can potentially build a long term deal.

 

If he doesn't grow, then you haven't committed too much resources to him and the team can still be built up outside of the QB room.

 

We definitely need a new veteran QB to be a backup and push BY if he isn't playing well.

Exactly where I’m at with it. My only issue is, let’s say he improves to a top ten season next year, he then gets top ten money. Can he stay at a top ten level? That’s where I have trouble giving him an extension.

That is currently Justin Fields at $20 mil. Unfortunately, that isn't realistic.

The contract to watch this offseason is Stroud's. More than likely he will ask for more or similar.

That better not happen in an attempt to "get a good deal" before CJ's contract gets inked.
