The Carolina Panthers have signed veteran quarterback Vinny Testaverde and have placed quarterback Jake Delhomme on injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday.
Testaverde (6-5, 235 pounds) ranks sixth in NFL history with 6,529 pass attempts, 3,693 completions and 45,281 passing yards and ninth with 270 touchdown passes and is tied for 10th with 30 300-yard passing games. His best season came in 1996 when he earned his first career Pro Bowl selection with Baltimore after passing for career highs of 4,177 yards and 33 touchdowns on 325-of-549 passing with 19 interceptions.
A 20-year veteran, Testaverde, 43, has played in 226 career games with 208 starts. He entered the NFL as the first overall pick of the 1987 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay and played six seasons with the Buccaneers before spending five years with the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens and six seasons with the New York Jets. Testaverde then had one-year stints with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets and New England Patriots.
Testaverde attended training camp with New England this year and played in three games for the Patriots last season, completing two-of-three passes for 29 yards and one touchdown.
Delhomme suffered an injured right elbow in the third quarter of Carolina's game at Atlanta on September 23. He started the first three games of the season and completed 55-of-86 passes for 626 yards and eight touchdowns with one interception. Delhomme ranks as the Panthers all-time leader with 1,934 pass attempts, 1,156 completions, 13,957 passing yards, 97 touchdown passes, nine 300-yard passing games and 63 starts by a quarterback
