In need of depth at quarterback, the Carolina Panthers intend to sign Bryce Perkins, according to reports.
The 2025 United Football League MVP will join the Panthers after backup QB Andy Dalton exited Saturday's preseason game with a right elbow sprain. That left Jack Plummer as the only quarterback option behind starter Bryce Young.
The 6-foot-3, 214-pound Perkins was named the UFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year this past season, passing for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns (two interceptions) while leading the Michigan Panthers to the league championship. In the title game, he threw for 338 yards and four touchdowns.
Undrafted out of Virginia in 2020, Perkins spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. His only game time came in 2022, when he appeared in five games and went 19-for-34 for 161 yards and a touchdown against two interceptions. He also rushed for 90 yards.
Carolina (0-2) wraps up its preseason schedule on Thursday when the Panthers host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dalton, who enters his third year with Carolina and 15th year in the league, was expected to undergo further testing on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. In his first two seasons with the Panthers, Dalton appeared in nine games, passing for 1,350 yards and nine touchdowns as the backup QB.
