Delhomme Release Will Cost Panthers Big Time

Releasing Jake Delhomme is in a way the start of a new era for the Carolina Panthers and that era will be expensive.

Very expensive.

“…the structure of Delhomme’s contract means the quarterback is guaranteed a $12.7 million payout if the Panthers didn’t exercise a couple of options. Apparently, they’re not doing that and they’re on the hook for $12.7 million.”

Remember, the Panthers also tendered QB Matt Moore at the first and third round level, which was a hefty amount. Moore responded well to the tender indicating it showed the organization’s faith in him.

So, as it stands now, Matt Moore is the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.
