The Carolina Panthers aren’t rushing anything with Bryce Young. However, they’re also not hiding how they feel about their franchise signal-caller. The organization officially picked up Young’s fifth-year option this past week, locking him in through the 2027 season with a fully guaranteed $25.9 million salary for that year.
With the 2026 draft in the books, teams are already looking toward 2027. Here's our way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft, as of April 27, 2026.

Dave Canales’s club finished 8-9 in 2025, one of three teams in the NFC South to claim that mark. And thanks to their combined 3-1 record vs. the Atlanta Falcons (2-0) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1), it was the Carolina Panthers that emerged as division champions.
