Moore Signs Tender

Panthers' restricted free agent quarterback Matt Moore will sign the team's one-year qualifying offer of $3.043 million today, according to his agent.

"It's a done deal," said agent Lynn Lashbrook. "He's excited about getting started for next season. He did not want to wait around.

"He wanted to send a message to the community and the team. I just think it's a great win-win for both parties."

That locks in Moore with the Panthers for the 2010 season. Carolina placed the highest possible tender on Moore last week to prevent other teams from pursuing him. It would've required teams to surrender first- and third-round picks if Moore signed an offer sheet the Panthers declined to match.

After tendering Moore last week, the Panthers released Jake Delhomme and declared that Moore was their starting quarterback. Moore was 4-1 in Carolina's late-season surge that resulted in an 8-8 finish. He took over as quarterback after Delhomme, who was 4-7, suffered a broken knuckle on the middle finger of his right (throwing) hand.

Moore threw eight touchdown passes and one interceptions in the final five games.

Lashbrook said Moore and the Panthers were "a good marriage."

"The Carolina Panthers have been a good match for him and he's been a good match for them," said Lashbrook. "It's an exciting time for (somebody who was an) undrafted free agent three years ago. As an agency, we're very excited."

He's excited & so am I. :)

*Update*

Panthers' QB Matt Moore could've waited to sign tender until at least April 15, deadline for other clubs to sign RFAs to offer sheets.

    • Which is why I'm all for trading Lamelo. Guy misses half of every season. I swear he just likes to sit on the bench to show off his street clothes. I think it negatively impacts the other guys who do the same. If guys don't want to play, they don't need to be here. Coach and gm need to get stricter
    • See, I have a different view of it. I think that just the opposite is very true, and often proven on our very own team.  Look at the impact that CMC had when he was here.  Look at how bring in two top rate IOL to play guard last season made a huge difference in finally getting a stable front for Bryce to live behind. It took a while for it to bear fruit, but those last games were just relevatory. And off ball linebackers like Luke Kuechly, not just running a defense but dictating the game when he's on the field, truly remarkable what a difference that makes. Personally, he had as much or maybe even more to do with that Super Bowl appearance as Cam did.  What I see in the NFL is teams trying hard to cover up for a lack of good linebackers by stacking the D-line. But it gives them a crust defense, one that is hard and crunchy on the outside but a feast within. Linebackers shouldn't just rule the middle of the field, but should be directing traffic and working as enforcers.  But hey, whatever. "Devalued" positions often come back to bite you in the ass when they are neglected. Ask anyone who has had to clean up the mess left behind by a former college coach who took over a pro team and brought their college recruiting mindset in. Yanno, like Matt Rhule did.   
    • I see it this way--XL was raw.  Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL.  XL will be more experienced.  He will have an offseason of jugs work.  He is a very good athlete.  He can only get better.  Wallace?  Same thing.  He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S.  I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024. Derrick Brown. DE Brown III NT Wharton DE Jones Edge Moehrig S Princely. Edge Scourton. Edge Ransom. S Cam Jackson NT Roseboom  LB While we may not know what we have, we know what we don't have--
