Jake Delhomme Released- Carolina Panthers Cut Him

Jake Delhomme Released- Carolina Panthers cut him on Thursday after having a courtship with QB for more than a year as they have had extended the lucrative contract with the star but he paid back one of his worst season as a professional.

Rick Smith, the agent for Jake Delhomme has confirmed the release. He has had added that Jake Delhomme would speak to reporters on Friday. It gives us sign about Panthers going to promote Matt Moore or someone new at Jake Delhomme’s position. The move would be drastic one since Jake Delhomme surfaced of the Carolina Panther horizon in 2003 and leading them to Super Bowl.

Carolina Panthers did not only release Jake Delhomme, they also went for veteran defensive tachle Damione Lewis. The release of Damione Lewis will save $ 5 million in payroll however; it will deplete the Carolina defense. The move will save more for Carolina Panthers as they have had decided not to place a franchise tag on Julius Peppers.

Despite all these savings at the payroll end, cutting of Jake Delhomme is a major move for the face of Carolina Panthers.

Despite the fact that John Fox and Hurney had given a new contract to Jake Delhomme in the face of loss to Arizona and he will still get around $ 12.5 million as guaranteed money.

Jake Delhomme has had faced a miserable season in 2009 as after displaying a career high 18 interceptions, he was out of the court with a broken finger.

Moore did his best in winning of his team’s four out of its last five games. Moore got a $ 3.043 million free agent tender for one season on Wednesday. Carolina Panther will be now in search of a QB to pair with Moore.
