Pro. Jake Delhomme

_ I think the Panthers see it as an economic move. Apparently if they cut him now while the cap is expired they won't take the big hit for that $12 million they owe him even when the cap is reinstated. Not knowing the details of the cap I'm not sure if they can resign him at a lower salary to lessen the cap hit but still owe him the $12 mil from the previous contract. _

Once you are cut, the previous contract is completely null and void. However, in this case his contract called for him to be paid the 12.7 MM$ if cut. Jake's a wealthy man today Some of the national media is now reporting this. Jake had a very smart agent. I wonder if he would increase his financial support of our program if asked dimplomatically.

Note, I edited my original post after finding the new info.

If asked? that is the key.

_ I don't even know if Delhomme can beat out Moore this year for starter, so I don't see him staying with Carolina on his current contract. I think Jake is done in Carolina, maybe period. _

Jake's done....I thought this would happen. Glad they cut him early. Maybe he can find a job somewhere else, maybe New Orleans. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4967109

That has to hurt if you are a Carolina fan. 12.7 mil is a huge number to eat.
On UL...is Jake even helping out financially? I have never heard any sizable numbers coming from him. Lets hope Jake can set us up.

I bet Jake has thrown us a few grand on occasion. But a big number would be nice.

It would seem asking someone for money when they've just been fired is bad timing regardless of the cash windfall.

The dude just won the lottery! Not only is he getting paid to go away, but will probably be paid again to work somewhere else. Except for a bruised ego this has to be a great day for the Delhomme family.

Which has the greatest chance of happening:

Starting Job Somewhere
Backup Job Somewhere
Retire to Breaux Bridge

Put $2mil in an annunity, keep the principal and give the rest to UL athletics. Would that work?
