The Carolina Panthers have started receiving trade inquiries from teams interested in veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Dalton, 36, is currently serving as the primary backup to 2023 first-overall pick Bryce Young. The three-time Pro Bowler signed a two-year deal with Carolina last offseason to provide veteran leadership and stability for the developing offense. In his lone start for the Panthers during the 2023 season, Dalton threw for 361 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating that he remains a capable starter in the league.
The interest in Dalton comes as several teams across the NFL grapple with injuries and inconsistent play at the quarterback position. As a seasoned veteran with 163 career starts, Dalton represents one of the most reliable options available for teams looking to bolster their depth or find a short-term solution under center. While the Panthers have not indicated a deal is imminent, the high volume of calls suggests a significant market for the signal-caller.
