Houston Texans quarterback Jake Delhomme isn't ready to say he's officially retiring, but the 14-year veteran said his playing career is likely over after Sunday's season-ending 20-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

On NFL Network

"NFL Replay" will re-air the Ravens' 20-13 win over the Texans and the Patriots' 45-10 win over the Broncos on Wednesday, Jan. 18 at midnight ET.

“I’m being very realistic,” Delhomme told the Houston Chronicle. “I turned 37 last week. I’m not moving my family. I’m (not) going somewhere to start over. This kind of fell into my lap, so to speak."

We owe it to him to retire as a Panther if he wants and retire his #17. His contributions go far beyond just his accomplishments on the field.

Classiest dude ever.

Definately he will sign w/ us to retire. GREAT dude.

but his number shouldn't be retired.......he is the greatest QB to of played here but that also shows how young our franchise is and the fact we haven't done poo.

I hope he retires a Panther.

Dude was all class (and hissy fits)

Let Cam have a hissy fit, and it's "He's gotta work on his attitude" "Terrible attitude" "He isn't a team player" "He isn't a leader" some fans seriously have a double standard. But noooooo Delhomme's fits made him 'fiery'.

Cam did have a hissy fit, though a more understated one than Delhomme's tended to be, in the Texans game.

Nobody complained that I can recall.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
