Jake Delhomme May Retire

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
