Fox leaves, does Jake follow?

The way I am looking at it is, extending Delhomme was a must because they had to free up cap room. So given the circumstance, I think it was a pretty saavy move by Hurney, in that respect. Sure it would have been great to let Delhomme's contract expire, but I don't think that was really an option with our cap situation last year.

Free up a couple million one year on the salary cap at a cost JR 13 million he following year. I see what you mean savvy move. It doesn't matter that cutting Jake doesn't effect the salary cap to JR hes out that money no matter what.

Hurney was essentially gambling with JRs money and it didn't turn out the best way possible, but Hurney did give himself an out which is important in hindsight. However, it is an expensive out. Delhomme had a very good agent, that's for sure.

All I know is if I was JR and my GM had lost me 20 million dollars on a QB coming off his worst game of his career at the worst possible time, I would fire him. But thats just me.

I'm sorry, but that extension wasn't needed at the expense that it costs us now. We only saved 3 mil and Jake was coming off the worse game of his career with only 1 year left. That extension was mostly on the belief of Hurney and Fox that Jake was a franchise QB and their relationship.

I think if Fox leaves, Jake will be gone either way.

I completely agree with you. It was definately a horrible move especially after the game Delhomme had. Hurney was looking at the previous season as a whole, and Delhomme did some great things for us last year. It was a gamble that didn't pay off.

Remember when they gave Jake this deal they were expecting him to be a serviceable QB for a couple of years. And why not think this. Like always hindsight is 20/20 and now the deal looks like a bad move. If Jake had played to old form we would probably be in the playoffs and his new contract would have looked like a great deal.

What team in their right mind would want Jake anywhere near Fox, If they do they get what they deserve.

The advantage is a roster spot that is not wasted on a player with no prospects.

IF Fox leaves the incoming coach wont be tied to Jake. He will be cut would be my guess.
