Delhomme has new deal

[scpanther22]

Trim the fat? Nothing says trimming the fat like paying a washed-up QB that much money. Jake IS the fat. He's the cancer plaguing this organization.

Also, why do people keep saying this is just a "cap move"? Again, you don't give someone $20 million if it's just a "cap move".

i agree...jake can start here fine..but 20 million up front..idk.we will know next year..if this was worth it...if anything what does this say about matt moore..and his chance to start..this contract does not say..jake start 2 more years and moore takes over..this says he is our QB to he is 38..moore will be too old to be a first time starter to me..seeing as his contract is up next year.

First of all, this is not rewarding Delhomme for one bad playoff game - anyone who thinks that is a moron.

The guy is a proven winner in this league and this is a cap move... 42.5 for 5 years with 20 guaranteed takes his cap hit down from 11 to roughly 5 if I understand how these things work.

This means we just found an extra 6 million in cap space today... I don't think we would make this kind of move unless we were planning on either a) signing a first round pick or pursuing some sort of FA signing or trade.

$20 million guaranteed is a cap move. LOLOLOL

Now we could be on to something here. Good point.

A "cap move" would have been cutting Jake. $20 million is not a cap move. It's an extension for the long haul. It's as if they think he's 27 years old.

But Catman, I pray that you're right and we're going to use the cap space for a Peppers trade somehow.

But then we wouldn't have a Quarterback....

You're never too old to start at quarterback for the Panthers. They plan on having Jake until he's 40 and they signed 90-year-old Vinny T.

$20 million guaranteed is a cap move. LOLOLOL

1) How much was jake scheduled to get this year? 12 million?

2) 20 million guaranteed over 5 years = 4 million dollar cap hit per year.

It's a cap move. :troll:
