Pro. Jake Delhomme

_ I think the Texans are looking for a good back-up QB. Jake would be a great fit here. He is not likely to be picked up as a starting QB by anyone. _

the texans picked up matt leinart as their back-up

Congrats on a fine career!

Just read it on the Cleveland Plain dealer website.

Where will he go next?

[CajunRed]

Jake's new pool is almost done. I suspect he's headed back here to chill and watch his kids swim.

_ With his release ---if he chooses not to play--does he receive any compensation----I had read where he could wind up back in Carolina!!!! _

I'm hearing that there's a very good chance that he ends up back in Carolina as a tutor for Cam Newton. The owner over there Jerry Richardson loves Jake, and hes well versed with the organization. On top of all of that, the players have been publicly pushing the front office to resign Jake, so I'd say chances are pretty good.

Frankly, I think there's only 2 places he would go, either he goes back to Carolina, or he ends up in Denver with his old coach John Fox, as a tutor veteran leader while Tim Tebow Starts.

Or Jake could end up back in Nola. I'm sure Peyton and Brees is a very different environment than Haslett and Brooks. Also, I'm not sold on Chase Daniels

I don't think the chances of him ending up in NO are very high at all. Brees is the veteran leader there, they don't need another Vet QB, its more likely that NO will stick with young developing QB's to fill the role of backups. Now I could see Matt Moore (the QB the panthers just released) hook up in NO to back up Brees, but highly unlikely that Jake ends up there.

[SlappyCajun]

Right. Breed has been the leader, and they had Brunell. If Brees goes down for 1 or 2 games who gives u the best chance to win. Matt Moore or Jake.

Jake obviously, but you're missing the point. Brunell was in New Orleans, and it was a nice luxury, but instead of spending 4-5 mil on a backup, they can spend 1 mil, or less on a young guy that they can groom behind Drew. Think of the Tom Brady scenario, he had Cassel behind him, and now has Brian Hoyer that they will develop, then possibly trade like they did with Cassel. Aaron Rodgers has the young Matt Flynn behind him and people are asking about him. It makes more sense for you to develop young QBs in the likeness of your star QB, then waste money on veteran backups. Its just an unnecessary expense, and I doubt that the saints will pony up the money that Denver or Carolina would be willing to spend just to have him as a backup because both will be in desperate need of a vet QB.

With Brandon coming back to the East Coast and just down the street from where he started his career, everyone is forgetting that the deadskins do not have a decent QB. What if....... jake and Brandon reunited? Would be nice. Guess i would have to pay premium price to go down the street to see them play again.
