Former Vikings Legend Could “Audition” for New Role – Potential 2026 Free Agent Destinations

1. Carolina Panthers

While the Carolina Panthers found some much-needed life in their offense, they could use an adequate veteran quarterback to guide Bryce Young. At 6-6 and still having some type of chance in the postseason, the Panthers should continue to see Young grow. However, the primetime game against the 49ers didn’t show much.

This isn’t to say Young can’t turn into a solid starter, but when you see Patriots Drake Maye, who is thriving in his second year, it tells the team that they might need to draft a new signal-caller. Young is only good as long as the offensive line is intact, but the Panthers should sign Bridgewater since he’s a better fit for what the Panthers are building over Andy Dalton.
