Instead of testing his value on the free agent market, quarterback Matt Moore seems to like being the Carolina Panthers’ starting quarterback, and he has signed his one-year, $3.043 million tender with the Panthers.
The move came on Thursday, just one week after long-time starting quarterback Jake Delhomme was released by the Panthers, who have declared that Moore would be the starting quarterback by the beginning of training camp. And Moore’s agent Lynn Lashbrook also said that his client preferred to sign the tender than test the open market.
At age of 25, Moore received starting job in late last season when previous starter Delhomme was sidelined with a broken finger, and he did a considerably great job by leading to Panthers to 4-1 for the final five games with eight touchdowns and two interceptions and a passer rating of 98.5. As somewhat reward to his impressive performance, the Panthers placed the highest possible tender on Moore while released Delhomme, who had been wearing Panthers jerseys for seven years.
