QB, Panthers agree to $4 million deal

Jake Delhomme agreed to a two-year contract worth $4 million with the Carolina Panthers this morning.
That's the first piece of a quarterback puzzle that could come together very rapidly. Incumbent starter Rodney Peete is expected to re-sign with the Panthers as early as today.

But Delhomme, 28, a former backup with the New Orleans Saints, could end up being Carolina's quarterback of the future. Although he has made only two NFL starts, he is viewed as a player with lots of upside and he could challenge Peete for he starting role at some point.

The Panthers also could draft a quarterback in April. Chris Weinke, who has a $3.5 million salary cap figure, and Randy Fasani also are on the roster.

This makes me believe the Panthers are still going to take leftwich or palmer if given the chance.

makes me think they're covering their asses if he can't cut it as a starter... the contract is starter/TOP backup money... if he can cut it and proves to be starter worthy he'll be resigned to a longer deal for more money...

I agree... 2 yr. Deal - Take Palmer or Leftwich and let him "mature" -

Yea, the guy better win the job quick - he's only got 2 yrs! Surprising you don't sign him for at least 3 yrs.

Oh well. Still good move.
