Panthers Trade Dalton, Pickett Backs Up Young
About this episode
The Carolina Panthers traded veteran quarterback Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2027 seventh-round draft pick, freeing up $2.15 million in salary cap space. Kenny Pickett, recently signed as the backup to Bryce Young, will now take on a more significant role. Dalton, who spent three seasons in Charlotte, mentored Young and helped him establish himself as a steady quarterback, leading the team to an eight-and-eight record last season. The Panthers plan to exercise Youngs fifth-year option this offseason. Looking ahead, Carolina may draft a developmental quarterback in the middle or late rounds to add long-term depth behind their starter.
