Bryce Young’s Future with Panthers | NFL News

0:00It's September 7. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today, Football News powered by AI. This year is a massive one for Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers. They picked him number one overall a couple of seasons back, and now they've got to figure out if he's their guy for the future. He showed flashes of talent, especially making plays late in games last season, but the front office that drafted him is long gone. Focusing is still on his rookie deal for this year and has the fifth year option for next season. The big question is whether the Panthers see him as their long-term franchise quarterback, if they do, is going to cost them a pretty penny. The folks who drafted him are no longer there, and he's only got 14 career wins so far. To get a big contract, he'll need to improve his game, particularly his ability to throw the ball down field. The team has some flexibility with that fifth year option, which means they could wait to make a decision or even draft someone else to develop. To get a sense of the financial side, we asked an AI chatbot what a contract extension

Anything less might not be enough to get a deal done if he plays well this season. The Panthers are trying to learn from other team's mistakes, like moving on too quickly from quarterbacks or committing too fast. They're putting pressure on Young to show them what he's got. If he can lead the team to a strong division title this season, it could be enough to secure him a massive contract extension.
