Former TCU QB Andy Dalton to sign two-year extension with Carolina Panthers

The Red Rifle will continue to serve as a mentor for young quarterback Bryce Young.

Former TCU quarterback Andy Dalton will be staying with the Carolina Panthers after reportedly agreeing to a two-year, $8 million extension that includes $6 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $10 million. Dalton will continue to work alongside former first-rounder Bryce Young, who took a step forward during the 2024-25 season after a shaky rookie campaign. Dalton has spent his last two seasons with the Panthers, throwing for 1,350 yards and nine touchdowns with six interceptions over that two-year period.

Dalton has been in the NFL since 2011, when he was selected in the second round by the Cincinnati Bengals. The former TCU quarterback and Rose Bowl winner is approaching 40,000 passing yards for his career. Dalton’s career numbers include 39,499 passing yards, 253 touchdowns and 150 interceptions. Dalton spent nine years with the Bengals before signing with the Dallas Cowboys as a backup to Dak Prescott in 2020. Dalton spent one year with the Chicago Bears in 2021 before moving on to the New Orleans Saints in 2022.
