The Carolina Panthers may consider a contract extension for quarterback Bryce Young, potentially averaging around $33 million annually. This figure is significantly lower than the $46 million AAV received by Kyler Murray in 2022.
The Carolina Panthers will have a big decision to make on the future of their relationship with quarterback Bryce Young. But when they do, it may not end up being that big of a commitment.
When asked about the potential of a contract extension for Young, Joe Person of The Athletic referred back to a number he reported on in January. Here's what Person wrote in the latest edition of his mailbag, which was published on Wednesday:
Two NFL talent evaluators told The Athletic in January that a Young extension should average about $33 million annually, matching the current deals of ex-Carolina QBs Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. Thatâs well below the $46 million AAV that Kyler Murray â another No. 1 pick â received from the Arizona Cardinals in 2022, after Murray had led Arizona to the playoffs and had gone to back-to-back Pro Bowls. Murray was the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019.
Although Murray's time in Arizona was cut short, he did accomplish a bit more than Young hasâas far as their first three seasons went. But Young is seemingly on an ascension, having passed for career-highs in completion percentage, yards and touchdowns while helping push Carolina to their first NFC South crown since 2015.

If the Panthers and Young were to land on that annual average of $33 million, that'd put the former No. 1 overall pick in the lower half of starting quarterback salariesâat least as the landscape currently sits. He's set to earn a fifth-year option of approximately $25.9 million in 2027, which isn't terribly far off from that projected extension.
As of now, Carolina isn't expected to strike a new deal with Young before the start of the 2026 campaign. So a lot, including the numbers, could change by this time next year.
