Andy Dalton, Panthers Agree On Two-Year Deal

Tuesday, February 18, 4:15 PM

The Carolina Panthers and quarterback Andy Dalton agreed on a two-year, $8 million deal on Tuesday that includes $6 million guaranteed and has a maximum value of $10 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The veteran signal-caller will remain in Carolina, where he's developed a close relationship with starter Bryce Young. Dalton, 37, ended up making five starts for the Panthers in 2024 after the team benched Young following his slow start. In his six appearances in his second year in Carolina, the Red Rifle completed 66.3% of his 160 pass attempts for 989 yards, seven touchdowns and six interceptions before suffering a thumb injury in a car accident that gave the Panthers a reason to go back to Young to end the year. Young looked the best he has in his young career to close out 2024, so Dalton will be entrenched as his backup entering the 2025 season.

Jalen Hurts Looking Good Early in Training Camp

Wednesday, July 23, 5:09 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has picked up where he left off in 2024 in the first day of training camp practice on Wednesday, per Eliot Shorr-Parks. Shorr-Parks writes that Hurts didn't do anything flashy but just showed good overall QB play. He took care of the ball and was never really in harms way while going 14-for-15 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. Hurts had 26 reps on the day, with Shorr-Parks giving him a B grade. The 26-year-old's best pass of the day was down the sideline to receiver A.J. Brown for a pickup of around 20 yards. Even though Hurts isn't the most accurate or prolific passer, he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy QB because of his rushing prowess. In the last four seasons over 62 regular-season games, Hurts has 52 rushing touchdowns. It gives him an extremely high fantasy ceiling.
