Bryce Young had a rough rookie season, something Adam Thielen says wasn't entirely his fault.

The No. 1 overall pick in 2023, Young played behind a struggling offensive line and received little help from the running game.

"Yeah, well, I'll say this: I mean, I think everything was stacked against him last year, unfortunately," receiver Adam Thielen told Good Morning Football. "And I'm not gonna get into detail as to why that was, but I'm just really excited for him to have a fresh start, an ability to have a good coaching staff that's gonna put a good plan together to help him be successful, and also to put people around him to help him be successful."

Free agent pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney has agreed to a contract with the Carolina Panthers, the team announced Wednesday.

Terms were not disclosed but sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Clowney agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract that can be worth up to $24 million.

The Carolina Panthers have ended talks with Brian Burns on a contract extension, according to a report.

The decision to put an end to those conversations came at the Scouting Combine last week. 

The Panthers picked up Burns' fifth-year option in 2023 and could still use the franchise tag ahead of Tuesday's deadline.

The edge rusher would be in line for a salary of $24 million in 2024 if he played under the tag and the Panthers would have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal with him.
