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.

      Hornets Acquire Collin Sexton

      Assuming Mann is back I’d go ahead and move Green and the first rounder from PHX for a starting center. I prefer Okogie to Green anyway.

      Been here since the Coliseum days. Hornets were the first pro team I ever rooted for. If they're ever going to get out of the gutter they have to establish a culture. They are trying to do that. I have no idea if it will be successful but it's a start.

      I don’t think I'd go that far but there is definitely legitimate reason to ask how much he actually values winning and being great as a basketball player. He is very easily distracted with off the court stuff. This has been a public criticism of people like LeBron James with some of the newer generations of "stars". And it is 1000% valid and needed to be said. All I can say is I hope this is the year. If it is it will be apparent fairly early on. But I get the sense if the same themes continue as the upcoming season progresses the FO could look to move him before the trade deadline. It would suck for a multitude of reasons and I don't want to see it happen but if it did it would be on LaMelo and LaMelo alone because they've given him the keys and are finally putting pieces around him. If he wants to be a great basketball player and win he will be here and do what is necessary for the team to be successful. If not well....
