Panthers' Andy Dalton: Inks two-year extension

The Panthers signed Dalton on a two-year, $8 million contract extension Tuesday.

Dalton's new extension includes $6 million guaranteed and carries a maximum value of $10 million with incentives, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. In nine appearances with Carolina over the last two seasons, the 37-year-old signal-caller has tossed nine touchdowns and six interceptions, with perhaps his most impactful contribution coming as a mentor for Bryce Young. Dalton will give the Panthers some stability in the quarterback room as Young looks to build on his Year 2 improvement.
