The Carolina Panthers increased their obligation to Sam Darnold on Friday, getting the fifth-year choice on the quarterback’s youngster contract. He will presently make $18.9 million for the 2022 season. Darnold’s agreement would have lapsed after the 2021 season, and he would have become an unhindered free specialist if the Panthers had not gotten the fifth-year alternative. With the move, the Panthers set their quarterback position for the following two seasons.
Carolina passed on Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields with the eighth pick in Thursday night’s draft, rather taking cornerback Jaycee Horn from South Carolina, another sign of Darnold’s standing. “We brought Sam here for an explanation and we are eager to perceive what he can do,” Rhule said Friday night on the choice not to choose Fields. “We exchanged for him since we have confidence in his latent capacity.”
