According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Andy Dalton and the Carolina Panthers have agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $10 million. Dalton just wrapped up his second campaign with Carolina, playing in six games and starting five of them during the 2025 season.

Bryce Young is set to be the starting quarterback moving forward but having a quality backup is important in the NFL. Dalton provides some stability to the room if anything were to happen to Young.
