So Delhomme is as good as gone now, right?

Meh.

This is the NFL not community football program. Jake is a professional football player he knows the drill. You perform you stay you dont perform your gone.

Yep...Delhomme is gone now. I'm 99% sure.

I think years from now the Delhomme extension/restructuring will be looked at as one of the biggest bonehead front office moves in NFL history.

Maybe that's an exaggeration, but it is so far beyond sad that the team is going to have to pay $13 million for someone to warm the bench. I love Jake's heart but he is done as an NFL QB, and the fault for failing to realize that this past offseason falls squarely on the shoulders of Fox and the Panthers' front office. Epic fail.

I think whether or not Jake is back will be determined by whether Fox is here or not. If he is gone, then how does the new coach view Delhomme. Most of the time people around the league have a more positive view of Jake especialy for his body of work than do most folks on this board. They would likely give him a chance to work things out rather than just cut ties since he was good in the past. Obviously Fox feels that way.

The argument could be made that if they were to let him go, the best time would be in 2010. I don't know if they could accelerate the guarateed money as a one-time charge against the 2010 cap since there won't be a cap, he wouldn't hurt us in the future as dead cap.

I think that if it doesn't cost them much beyond what is guaranteed and there are no roster bonuses involved, they will keep him especially until final cuts. Depends on what it costs to sign Moore and McCown to contracts since they are both free agents whether restricted or unrestricted.

It makes sense in cutting Jake now in an uncapped year, will not effect us cap-wise. Although, we do have to pay him several million in guaranteed money. Jake will not restructure his contract (again), and whoever said that knows nothing. What player in their right mind would do that, only to get cut and he receives less guaranteed money.. purely asinine.

man, i like jake. i really do. i really WANT to like him as a qb...but obviously i cant do that...i think hes a good guy, and id like to see him around the team...maybe as a number 2 or 3...but NOT at the $$ he's making.
