Delhomme to 40??

[scpanther22]

hurney has said many times he thinks jake has a young arm

The base salaries at the end of Jake Delhomme's five-year extension top out at $4.62 million, according to the NFLPA.

The deal wasn't just for cap relief. Carolina is betting that Delhomme will last until age 40. The 34-year-old hardly played at a high level last year, however, and it's near shocking they'd commit to him for so long. The Panthers have done next to nothing to upgrade their long-term QB situation. Apr. 30 - 9:29 am et

Its crazy to think Delhomme will last that long. I would give him no more then 4 years and thats pushing it.

And I'm betting they are not betting that. I'm betting they are counting on him to start/play at max 3 more years. Why do these outlets not yet understand that in the NFL a 5 year deal isn't really a 5 year deal?

Wont happen they made it that long to spread the money over 5 years. He has maybe 3 years left.

I'll be expecting another 5 year extension in 2014! Go Jake!

No Jake the contract is a tarp!

Im not a jake "lover" by any means but the guy wasnt a starter until he was almost 30 so it isnt like he has taken the hits alot of qb's his age have...

The Panthers will be begging Jake at age 40 to play. No backup plan in site boys & girls.

And that can change in one draft.

Wont happen. Your next starter for the Carolina Panthers is currently holding a clipboard somewhere else in the league.

I heard hurney is looking at the young prospect out of Minnesota named Jeff George....anyone know anything

[scpanther22]

well we did start a 44 year old QB...so i put nothing past the panthers

Delhomme will never see the money from the last two years of that contract.
