Bryce Young showed enough improvement during the 2025 season to get his fifth-year option picked up by the Carolina Panthers. This also gives general manager Dan Morgan another offseason to build around the quarterback and see if there is even more untapped potential.
Carolina's offensive line has some questions to answer thanks to Ikem Ekwonu's ruptured patellar tendon and Robert Hunt's mystery pectoral issue. The tight end and running back positions may need tweaking to maximize performance levels, especially if Rico Dowdle departs for a better offer in free agency.
However, one respected Panthers insider got the feeling Morgan's offensive priority could lie elsewhere, at least where the skill positions are concerned.
