Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Panthers originally placed the transition tag on Foster in order to allow Carolina to match any offer in the open market. When the CBA terms were agreed upon and the salary cap increased, it gave the Panthers the necessary room to make the deal. ... Foster now joins Seattle's Shaun Alexander and Green Bay's Ahman Green as starting running backs to re-sign with their own teams prior to the start of open bidding.
