Dan Morgan just made life uncomfortable for a Panthers locker room favorite

Key Points:
- The Carolina Panthers will exercise Bryce Young's fifth-year option, keeping him under contract through 2027, though a long-term extension is unlikely this offseason.
- Young's performance has secured his position as the franchise quarterback, but the Panthers are evaluating potential changes behind him on the depth chart.
- Veteran backup Andy Dalton, 38, remains respected but is nearing the end of his career, prompting the Panthers to consider adding a younger quarterback for competition and development.
- General manager Dan Morgan indicated the team may pursue a quarterback through the draft or free agency to provide a succession plan and enhance depth behind Young.
- Dalton's contract structure makes releasing him early financially unfavorable, so he is expected to remain on the roster in 202
