Panthers Plan to Move On from Dalton

The Carolina Panthers are considering parting ways with veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, focusing on developing a younger backup for starter Bryce Young. Despite a potential $3.83 million dead cap hit, the team is exploring options like trading or releasing Dalton. Free agent Kenny Pickett and other quarterbacks like Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, and Sam Howell are being considered for the backup role, aiming to build long-term stability around Young.
