Jake Delhomme: No hard feelings toward the Carolina Panthers

[Rod Butsecks]

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) A tearful Jake Delhomme just spent 20 minutes talking with reporters about his release, and emphasized -through his halting, emotional speech - that he had no ill will toward the Panthers.p/ Delhomme walked to the Bank of America Stadium podium with his own tissue and sunglasses, cracked a joke about his allergies, and began the long process of explaining how it got to this point.

“Not every script gets to have a happy ending,” he said.

wow. I wish it could've ended a different way. Again, thanks for all you did Jake.

I think this was a bad decision. But then again payin a backup QB 12mil isnt the smartest of decisions either...

On a positive note, I can now buy an authentic Delhomme jersey at a great price on panthers.com

how could he have any ill will, instead of leaving this offseason with no money if we didn't extend him, he's getting paid a steep figure some of the best starters in the league would get paid.

Some people aren't all about the money. If he was getting no money he would be mad, not sad, though.

People just don't understand that some players don't play purely for the money.

You think Brett Favre came back because he needed a few more millions? You think after that NFC championship Favre was like, dang, I could have made like tens of thousands more if we had one. poo, I could have gotten another Super Bowl ring, worth at least 100K. Damnit.

yeah delhomme was already a multimillionaire before last offseason. having 40 million instead of 20 million won't give a man a satisfied mind.
