How much compensation would the Panthers get for Moore?

[hepcat]

He is a Restricted Free Agent, no? What is the level of compensation the Panthers recieve if he signs with another team? Does it depend on the money? What if the Panthers got a first rounder for him?

[Mekeritrig]

Depending on how much Moore would be offered, if the Panthers did not match that offer these are the draft picks they would be awarded.

$2.562 million - First- and third-round

$2.017 million - First-round

$1.417 million - Second-round

$927,000 - Nothing because Moore was undrafted

[Gazi]

Panthers will match whatever is offered. He's not going anywhere

[Swarly]

Matt Cassel only got the Patriots a 2nd rounder, and he lead that team to an 11-5 season. Matt Moore will be a Panther next season.

[Kevin Greene]

Cassell was Franchise tagged, signed his FT contract and was traded.

[rayzor]

next year uncapped means that he won't be a free agent.

[Mesmer]

Those tenders are quite small for a QB. He won't be going anywhere.

[LiQuiD]

He better not be going anywhere. This kid has a poo ton of potential from what I've seen. And he seems to only get better with each week...

The Panthers will slap the 2nd round tag on him.. if someone offer's him a contract, the Panthers will match. More than likely, they want to see him do well the first 5-6 games of the 2010 season, before they offer him a long term deal. Similar to Tony Romo in Dallas.. he came in the tail end of 06' played really well, and then got a new deal 5 games in to the 07 season, when he showed it was no fluke.

They won't do that because it'll allow another team to dictate terms of the deal. Poison pills suck. They'll try to negotiate a long term deal for moderate salaries with escalators if he starts a certain number of games or achieves certain incentives just like what they did with Weinke. If we do offer the RFA tender, it'll be with the intention of letting him go for the draft picks.

Which will be the single decision that will make me more livid than any other since we traded for Sean Gilbert. It will also set us back and help keep us in the laughingstock standings of NFL QB employment.

He will be a free agent of some form, be it RFA or UFA...

The other side of that "IF" was working the deal to keep him. I don't see it as an option to let him "test the market" because once he signs an offersheet, we're stuck with the terms or we let him go. We would be better to dictate our own terms IF our management folks see him as the QB going forward and Moore wants to stay here.
