Who Should I Start? Nick Mullens or Bryce Young

Monday, March 10, 4:55 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Mullens will be the new backup to Trevor Lawrence in head coach Liam Coen's first year in Duvall. The 29-year-old Mullens will reunite with new Jaguars assistant coach Grant Udinski after the two worked together with the Minnesota Vikings. Mullens spent the last three years in Minnesota, appearing in 13 games (three starts) while throwing for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. He only appeared in four games in relief last year with Sam Darnold having a career year. Mullens will provide veteran backup depth behind Lawrence, though, having appeared in 33 games (20 starts) in his seven years in the NFL with Minnesota, San Francisco and Cleveland.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 31 of his 45 pass attempts for 445 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. He also took five sacks. Young was banged up in the gritty victory, as he exited twice after a player stepped on his ankle on two different occasions. Both of his departures were brief, though, and he was healthy enough to keep the Panthers in the game before leading a game-winning drive in overtime. Young set a new career-high in passing yards and will look to keep the momentum going against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The former No. 1 pick has led his team to a 6-5 start with wins in five of the last seven games. Carolina is just half a game out of first place in the NFC South, trailing the 6-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
