They're not the richest team, but they're not the poorest, either. Jerry Richardson has a decent amount of money.
The feeling around the league and it's fans was that Delhomme and Moore would compete for the starting job, and keep Delhomme as a backup for one more year.
Last year the Panthers extended Delhomme's contract so they could fit Peppers into the salary cap. Now they're out $12 million and have neither on the team.
Plus they're thin at QB, so I wonder if the DeAngelo Williams trade rumors will intensify so Carolina can get into the first-round of the draft.
