Dehhomme may walk?

ESPN's NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas speculates that Jake Delhomme may not even make the Panthers' final roster.

Yasinskas, an ex-Panthers beat writer, doesn't believe Carolina is done addressing the quarterback position this offseason, which could leave Delhomme's roster spot in jeopardy. The Panthers are expected to add at least one more QB, possibly a mid-round rookie. Still, it's hard to picture the team cutting ties with Delhomme even if he loses the quarterback competition.

If they cut Delhomme, they still have to pay him, so it really doesn't make any sense to me. Besides that, he at least gives you an experienced back up. Do we really want some rookie, most likely from a spread offense, backing up Matt Moore?

Um...why?

Why would you cut someone that would still be making millions in salary from you?

Unless we're drafting a QB...it ain't happening...and even if THAT happens, why the heck would you not have him on the sidelines helping out. Warner was content letting Leinart get his shot.

    • Correct this logic I might if it meant taking his guaranteed money now and spread it over 3 years (2026-2028) and maybe add $6m.  I am not sure you can do that, or that he would do it, but it would be a way for him to extend his career and bank accounts and we would be getting him for $6m for 2 years (if healthy), basically, since his entire salary is guaranteed now.  If not, we lose an additional $6m spread over 2 years.  So let's say his guaranteed $$ for 2026 is $18m.  Give him a $24m contract ($8m per) through 2028.  Worst case:  We get $10m in cap relief now and create $3m dead cap for 2 years (2027-8).   Best case?  We get cap relief now and a good/decent guard/tackle for 2 years (2027-2028) and the total salary per year when he is active would be $12m if you don't count any money for the season he cannot play.  That is a good value, and we'd basically be getting a 50% discount rate.  Since we have so much guaranteed now, extending him is not as crazy as it seems.   Something has to be wrong with this logic...      
    • I don't disagree about Nikishin's potential availability, but Hamilton as a replacement? Not an upgrade in my book.
