Panthers extend Delhomme through 2014

By MIKE CRANSTON – 32 minutes ago

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — After the worst game of Jake Delhomme's career came in an ugly playoff loss, the Carolina Panthers never wavered that he was still their quarterback for the long-term.

On Thursday, they proved it, giving Delhomme a five-year, $42.5 million extension that keeps the 34-year-old under contract through the 2014 season.

"It's all about being able to know that I can finish my career here in Carolina," Delhomme said. "That's what I've wanted, all I've ever wanted."

The deal includes $20 million in guaranteed money and clears much needed salary-cap space for Carolina. Delhomme was to count for more than $10 million under the cap next season in the final year of his deal.

so hes getting a little less than 10 million dollars per pick he threw in his last playoff game

Mods can we please combine the two Jake Delehomme threads?By the way, since he plays with former Memphis Tiger DeAngelo Williams, isn't it Tiger related?

Yeah. I mean the way he stunk up the field during that game...I thought he was doing it on purpose. I thought he was trying to throw the game. He couldn't have looked any worse.
