Panthers cut Carr, sign Muhammad

The Carolina Panthers released disappointing quarterback David Carr on Wednesday and came to terms with receiver Muhsin Muhammad on a two-year contract.

Carr was let go a year after he signed a $6 million, two-year deal with the Panthers following a five-year stint as a starter in Houston. But Carr struggled so badly when he took over for the injured Jake Delhomme last season that he was eventually demoted to third-string.

Carr leaves Carolina as Muhammad prepares for his second stint with the franchise. Muhammad was expected to sign his contract later Wednesday, a week after he was released by the Chicago Bears.

    i hope they got moose for a good price, and he will accept the 3rd receiver role. if this is the case, sounds great!! i could see him being just like ricky proehl use to be, and a good touchdown threat in the red zone.

    The Phins need a QB. Maybe they should sign him to a low $$ deal, and see what he can do. I always thought he could do well if put in the right place at the right time. Wait... I thought that about Harrington, too.

    Sorry Carolina, history doesn't always repeat itself. Moose didn't get any of the bad press that the bears Quarterbacks got. But he deserved it. The problem is incomplete passes and interceptions are charged against the quarterback, not the guy who gets hit in the numbers and drops it.

    if he could get over his hands being cold, and take off the damb gloves. who know if he could be good or not. Im glad we don't have to think about it anymore, revamp those panthers!!!!! CFL for car. Get us a pounding RB for a change, lets knock some heads around.

    Great move by Carolina short term. And Carr .... wow, any team who puts up with Grossman would love to have Carr. The two together would bring total offensive confusion.

    Don't tell Jon Gruden. He loves to collect underachieving quarterbacks in Tampa.

    Carr was a gamble since day one. Good move to release him. He was terrible in Houston and I thought he might not be of value elsewhere. Interesting to see if anyone else picks him up.

    Carr may not have been that great, but cutting him outright is pretty ballsy considering that their "starting" QB, Jake Delhomme, is coming back from Tommy John surgery. That surgery normally takes at least 12-18 months to rehab fully. He won't be able to just play through the pain if he starts throwing too soon - he'll ruin his elbow again.
    Are the Panthers going to start Brett Basanez while Delhomme continues to rehab? If the Panthers expect Delhomme to rehab in less than the 12 months needed for his elbow to heal, they (and Delhomme) are going to be sorry.

    This a good move if Delhome can come back from his injury,Maybe that Rookie can step up.Two good receivers that know each other will be able to get open more often.It' took McNabb quite some time to heal after he returned.I hope Delhome is throwing so that he don't come in miss firing.

    David Carr needs to take a year off football.Go have fun.Do nothing with football.Your a good Quarterback,but you have lost your conferdience and that is the hardest to regain.Especially if you go back in hoping it will go away.I say two years off,First year go have funn ,no football,Second year go back into training and come out a better Player.
