Anderson agrees to terms with Cardinals

I doubt the team really had any interest in him and I didn't think much of him, but if you thought Derek Anderson was a reasonable pickup as a backup or potential competitor to Moore. Instead, he'll battle with Matt Leinart to become the new leader of the Cardinals aerial attack.

Panthers sign Brayton to three-year deal.

Brayton said he would have been 'heartbroken had he not returned to Carolina. Dollar value not reported but its safe to say the Panthers didn't over pay.

Armanti Edwards posts a 4.43 in the 40 on his pro day, shows off arm strength

Armanti's draft stock continues to climb after his pro day workout, which was attended by 10 NFL teams, including the Carolina Panthers. He worked out at QB, WR, and KR/PR for the teams in attendance.

"Edwards said Jacksonville wants him to return kicks, while Carolina, New England, Indianapolis and Miami want him to work out at quarterback and receiver"

"While Edwards’ durability and size remain the big issues, few question his left arm. There were guys here this morning that did not realize how strong his arm is," Coach Moore said of Tuesday’s workout, which was closed to reporters. "They sat right here and watched him throw from this hash, throw comebacks over on the far sideline. That ball travels 45 yards."

Czar: Watch for trade market to warm up

Hey TO fans...think he's worth $5 million? That's what he's demanding at minimum. I somehow don't think that's a reasonable deal for an aging, slow receiver with poor hands.

Week in Preview: Bad News for Vick

Week in Preview: Bad News for Vick

The eyes in the sky don't lie:
"He can’t throw. A guy could be open 20 yards downfield and he’ll throw it 25. He never could throw, but he was fast before. It’s not like he’s slow now but he doesn’t stick out"
--An NFL scout who watched each of Michael Vick's snaps last year.

So to anybody who still believes Vick can be a contributing quarterback in Carolina or anywhere else, give it up.

Per Len Paquarelli of ESPN. It makes sense, secure him for long term, and provide us with more leverage in any trade scenario.

Maybe our 2nd round tender has upset Marshall? He was not present at the start of the offseason conditioning program. I hope that changes...

Delhomme's Panther Parachute Explained

This article from the National Football Post does a good job breaking down the payment schedule for Jake Delhomme's remaining owed money from the Panthers (about which there's been much consternation.) However, here's the meat of the proceedings: he will be paid his $4.16 million in guaranteed salary for this year on schedule, then receive the remaining $8.515 million in guarantees scheduled for the '11 and '12 seasons on March 1 of next year. That money will be adjusted for inflation based on the change between April 23, 2009 (when Delhomme's extension was signed) and February 1 of next year.

Panthers Sign Marcus Hudson

Panthers Sign Marcus Hudson

The 2006 sixth round pick out of NC State wasn't tendered by the 49ers. Looks like a one-year deal for the dime corner and special teamer.

Possible WR we can go after????

Possible WR we can go after????

Demetrius Williams is a RFA with the Ravens but if they gave him a low tender do you guys think we could go after him? He's WR who came out of Oregon so he's played with J-Stew. Let me know what you guys think!!!

Panthers sign OT Rob Pettiti

Panthers sign OT Rob Pettiti

"Off tackle Rob Pettiti signed with NFL Panthers. Considered UFL league best on OL. Started, played every snap w/ Cowboys as rookie."

- Ralph Cindrich, agent
--------------------------------------------
Keeping Petitti was another value pick by the Panthers. Gantt likes the signing too: "Petitti's actually a good value signing. He's the right kind of body for the Panthers O-line, and if nothing else has some experience."

He didn't even visit with NO. Holmgren has probably offered him a shot to compete for the #1.

"That'd be awesome," Johnson said. "There hasn't been a real good running back tandem in the league [for a while]."

Why the Defense will be better than you think right now

More than ever, there's no doubt who the Captain of the defense is, and it's fair to say that in 2010, it belongs to him.

We're in good hands.
