Bryce Perkins Signing with Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have signed quarterback Bryce Perkins on Sunday. The Panthers are in need of another quarterback with Andy Dalton (elbow) sidelined right now. Perkins hasn't played in the NFL since the 2022 season with the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old has been lighting it up in the UFL, which earned him another shot in the NFL. Last season, Perkins threw for 1,342 passing yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions, which earned him the UFL MVP award. Possibly, Perkins can land a bench spot, but he's mainly being brought on as depth while Dalton is injured.
