Jake Delhomme says he thinks he will return to Carolina next season and get a shot at the starting quarterback job, although he acknowledged he will have to fight Matt Moore for it. Delhomme's fate is likely to be affected by coach John Fox's decision on whether to return.

Fox, who has one year left on his contract, said he expects to be back for a ninth year as the Panther's head man.

Despite Fox's statement, there is a rumor he could take the Browns job if Cleveland fires Eric Mangini.

Julius Peppers isn't saying much about whether he thinks he will return to the team next season.
