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.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
