The Facts:
Carter signed his one-year restricted free agent tender Wednesday. He had been tendered at the middle level of $1.3 million. Had someone signed him to an offer sheet and Carolina hadn't matched, they'd have received a second-round pick in return. No one was going to do that.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Panthers -- and more recently Fantasy owners -- have been intrigued by Carter's potential, and this is a key year for him since the clock is ticking on veteran Keyshawn Johnson's career. But last year's less than impressive showing should temper expectations all around.
