Carolina Panthers QB Sam Darnold has a fifth-year option in his contract, but general manager Scott Fitterer said the team will wait until after the 2021 NFL Draft to decide if they will exercise the option.

Footballguys View: The Panthers have time to make the decision. We’ll see who falls to them in the first round as there are rumblings they could still be in the quarterback market. That seems a bit much provided they traded for Darnold but in the NFL you never know.
