Jake Delhomme is making almost $20 mil next season?!

guys its turns out we only owe Jake $5.7 million!

The Panthers cut quarterback Jake Delhomme, despite owing him $12.7 million in guaranteed money in 2010.

Thanks to Browns owner Randy Lerner, Carolina owner Jerry Richardson suddenly owes Delhomme a lot less.

Per multiple reports, Cleveland will pay Delhomme $7 million in 2010, the first year of his brand-new contract.

It doesn't necessarily mean that Delhomme will get only $5.7 million from the Panthers this year. Given that signing bonuses apply evenly to the various years of a contract (even without a salary cap in place), the Panthers might only get credit for the portion of the signing bonus that applies to the 2010 season. (Delhomme reportedly has signed a two-year deal.)

Either way, Carolina's debt to Delhomme undoubtedly has been reduced by more than a few bucks. We'll try to get the info necessary to figure out the specific numbers.

Meanwhile, the investment in Delhomme means that he'll have more than a leg up in the competition with Seneca Wallace to be the starter, even though Wallace recently said thinks he'll be the starter.

We're researching the Delhomme contracts. If there's no offset language in his Carolina deal, Marty Hurney should be shot. Then fired..

Nothing should be a surprise to anyone after the post 2008 dealings with Peppers. An entire team on a stranglehold by a FT nightmare. We'll see.

If Jake is truly getting paid nearly $20 million this season, that would make him THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE NFL.

Read that one again: THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE NFL.

Nop Peppers Is getting $20 million this season. and jake is making around $18 mil at best maybe closer to $13 mil

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
