But once he's officially cut, he can retire and still keep the money.

Most times you lose any future salary when you retire. Perhaps because it is guaranteed he still gets it no matter what. Still he is likely not to retire unless he doesn't get on with any else.

Thanks, that makes sense. P55, Lots of changes happening to the panthers tonight; do you think decisions like Jake and D. Lewis are good ones?

It all depends on who we pick up to replace them with. Cutting Jake only makes sense if we replace him with someone who is an upgrade. If we traded for McNabb for example it would be a good thing (won't happen though). But if we go into camp with McCown, Moore, and a rookie as our three quarterbacks, we could be one injury away from disaster.

Same with Lewis. By getting rid of veterans with experience you lose a lot in the locker room. If you replace them with other veterans you can often make up the difference. But if you have a locker room full of inexperienced new faces, it could hurt the chemistry of the team and they might fall apart at the first sign of adversity. That rarely happens in a locker room of hardened veterans.

I guess only time will tell.

I wish people would stop saying the same things over and over. Such memorable classics include: "I'm so glad he's gone!!!!!!" and "I hate Jake!" (<--- Simplified) or any version thereof.
