"He didn't want to go into the season with this hanging over his head," agent Rick Smith told Gazette staffer Steve Reed. "It was a cordial negotiation throughout. We worked on it the last two weeks and it was finalized today. ..." Delhomme came to the Panthers in 2003 as an unrestricted free agent and has guided Carolina to three playoff appearances, two NFC South Division titles, and an NFC championship. He has compiled a 49-30 regular season record in 79 starts since 2003 and a 54-33 overall mark. In the 16 games Delhomme has missed since the 2003 season, the Panthers are 6-10.
