ESPN's Dan Graziano believes the Panthers will pick up Bryce Young's fifth-year option in 2026.Panthers coaches and front office officials "still believe in" Young despite his ups and downs this season, including a Week 13 meltdown against a weak Niners defense. Young finished the 2024 season on a hot streak after being benched early that season, but started 2025 with baffling decision making and poor throws both in the short areas and downfield. On the season Young ranks 21st out of 33 qualifying quarterbacks in drop back success rate and 30th out of 40 quarterbacks in yards per attempt. Graziano said he expects the Panthers to keep Young around in 2026 "because the cost will be reasonable (around $26.5 million), but then the question becomes what to do after that."
