CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers remain tight-lipped about the long-term contractual future of quarterback Bryce Young as he prepares to enter his fourth NFL season. The team can pick up the fifth-year option on Young at any time, which would mean paying him a projected $25.9 million in 2027. When asked if the Panthers should have a better idea of where Young’s ceiling is by now, Tilis responded, “not necessarily. He’s going to ascend as the team ascends and vice versa. I think we are all really excited for what Bryce is going to show and how the team is going to do.”
