Delhomme Agrees to 5 year, 42 million dollar extension

[IronMexican]

Are the Panthers front office run by idiots?

[BruceBowenFan]

wow i would not have given that big of an extension, maybe 2 years max.

[samikeyp]

ok, someone has to say it....



lol panthers.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

wow this is so dumb. They should have been looking to find a long term replacement for this idiot. Do they not remember the Arizona game?

[gaKNOW!blee]

What makes this even worse is that his last game was one of the worst performances I've ever seen.

[NBA Junkie]

Seems questionable, but I'll reserve judgment until I know how much of it is guaranteed money.

[jack sommerset]

:lol They guy threw 5 interception,maybe more in his last game he played. Way to reward him. BUT the NFL can cut him anytime and not pay him so whio gives a fuck. If he sucks he will be gone.

[Horry For 3!]

5 years? :lol

[Dr. Gonzo]

At least he has won a playoff game. This signing isn't any stupider than Romo's 6 year 67 million dollar deal.

[DBryant88]

^^^^ha ha very funny don't just blame romo blame the whole cowboys organization starting with jerry(bleeping) Jones

Starting with Jerry Jones for giving a 6 year 67 million dollar deal to a QB that has never won a playoff game.

[IronMexican]

Romo is just a little bit more overrated than Barber.

[NewJerSpur]

Isn't this guy a year removed from Tommy-John Surgery or some type of surgical procedure to the arm? Couple that with his erratic play at QB and questionable decision-making on the field (highlighted by that horrid showing against the Cards last postseason) make this signing that much more peculiar.

[FlavoredIcecream]

:lol Sounds like something the Raiders would do. Although the Raiders usually don't pay people who can still play. And that would be an insult if the Raiders offered him that. Double the salary and thats about what the Raiders would offer him.:lobt:

[SpuronyourFace]

You are not to bright are you...

[Dr. Gonzo]

You are not to bright are you...

Why? Because I think it's dumb to pay a guy that chokes in big games and has never won anything 67 million?

Oh wait, he's a Cowboy so that means he has future Hall of Famer written all over him.

[samikeyp]

What does Romo's contract have to do with Jake Delhomme?

No one was comparing the two so why even bring it up?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Epic Fail.

[Spursfan092120]

you can hear a pin drop in Carolina right now.

[kamikazi_player]

lol delhomme, i kinda feel bad for him, he might be in a stage where kurt warner was at in his career with the rams.

[Hornets1]

Pretty horrible deal, and I know Jake. He grew up in Breaux Bridge(6 miles from my hometown of lafayette), and went Teurlings in Lafayette. I'm a big Jake supporter, but this deal is downright dumb!

Lafayette has some pretty good NFL players: Jake, Brandon Stokley, and my man Javon Walker(went to the same HS as me and was best friends w/ my best friends older brother. Dude is a sick athlete. Won a world series w/ the 97(I believe) Florida Marlins, went to FSU, was drafted in the 1st round and made a Pro Bowl. He got mugged last year in Vegas and has had some other problems(injury, etc), but should have a good year as J. Russel's #1 target.

[dirk4mvp]

You live in Lafayette? My aunt and her family lives there. Pretty cool place.

He's not Russel's #1 target. He's not even playing tomorrow. Schillenz is the #1 but he's hurt. Raiders only have DHB, Murphy, JLH, and Todd Watkins for tomorrow.

[Hornets1]

Yeah, it's clean and a good place to raise a family. But there really isn't anything to do there except going to bars or restuarants. I usually go to Nola or baton Rouge during the weekends, but next weekend I'm going visit my uncle in Flower Mound. Should be a good time!:toast

You're right about him not playing tomorrow, I didn't know that. As a fan and somewhat a friend of his, I'm gunna be optimistic and say he will be russel's #1 target by the end of the year.:toast

Be cool if it happened. I have my doubts. He used to be real dangerous in Denver.

[exstatic]

NFL contracts are never what is stated, financially. It's probably really a 2 year $17M deal. Just a guess. :lol

[EricB]

2 years 17 million would still be too much.

huh?

:lol

Jake Delhomme was on the 1997 Marlins?!
Really?

:bangTalking about Javon. If my 1st name wasn't eric and my last name didn't start w/ a B, I'd be annoyed.

[kamikazi_player]

lol Delhomme is still going to start the next game. They need to think about the future of the Panthers.

[The Franchise]

At no point in his career should Jake have been a starting Quarterback. Had there been a legitimate franchise QB in Carolina they may have won a Superbowl by now. Rewarding him like this is just putting more dirt on the grave of John Fox.

If they had a real franchise QB last year, they would have won it all.

I have to disagree, for a while Delhomme was a good quarterback. Especially the season they went to the Superbowl.

like john fox is that great anyway

Indeed.

NFL contracts aren't garunteed. The signing bonus is first year year's pay assuming they stick on the roster is about the only relevant portions.

They could have said a 10 year, 500 million contract and it doesn't mean much.

[manufan10]

One day after enduring Jake Delhomme's second straight nuclear bomb in nine months -- the first against Arizona in last season's playoffs, the second against Philly on Sunday -- an unknown Panthers fan put Delhomme up for sale on Craigslist. The ad only lasted for a few hours before being pulled down, but here's what it said:

NFL QUARTERBACK JAKE DELHOMMEFOR SALE BY CONTRACT -- Jake Delhomme, NFL QB, 11 years, 6'2" 215 lbs. Age 34. 15 TD's in 2008, 12 INT's. Loyal. Needs a Loving Home. Serious Offers, Please. Trades Accepted. Contact: (coach) John Fox.

Panthers cut Delhomme in change of guard at QB

By MIKE CRANSTON, AP Sports Writer 40 minutes ago

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—The Carolina Panthers have cut Jake Delhomme, just over a year after they gave him a lucrative contract extension only to watch him have his worst season as a pro.
Agent Rick Smith confirmed the move late Thursday. It signals the Panthers intend to go with Matt Moore or someone new at quarterback for the first time since Delhomme burst onto the scene in 2003 and led Carolina to the Super Bowl.

After committing six turnovers in a playoff loss to end the 2008 season, Delhomme had 18 interceptions last year before being sidelined for the final five games with a broken finger.
The Panthers still owe the 35-year-old Delhomme about $12.5 million in guaranteed money.
Carolina also released veteran defensive tackle Damione Lewis.


Michael Vick: Interested in Joining Panthers

lol @ bullshit NFL contracts. they need to be guaranteed.


No they don't. Delhomme has enough undeserving guaranteed money coming his way, it'd be stupid if all 45 million were guaranteed.

[IronMexican]

He got his guaranteed money. He wasn't worth his contract anyways.

[The Gemini Method]

What happened to Matt Moore? I thought they were high on the kid from Oregon St./UCLA?

[Goran Dragic]

They said Moore is the starter headed into training camp.
