I don’t know what happened to Jake Delhomme last year. He literally imploded in on himself and destroyed the Panthers’ chances at the playoffs just a mere few months after they signed him to a massive extension. He completed 56% of his passes, which isn’t awful, but a 6.3 YPA and 18 picks to 8 touchdowns were what really did him in. The Panthers wanted to get rid of him so badly that they cut him this offseason despite the fact that doing so would actually cost them money. All that being said, he’s really only had one bad year. Take away last year and he has 115 career touchdowns to 76 career picks. They aren’t giving up a large of sum to get him and it’s not like they had anyone better on the roster. This move allows the Browns to either trade Brady Quinn and then draft a younger backup with more upside, or keep Quinn as an expensive backup. Who knows, maybe getting cut was exactly what Delhomme needed to get himself right and if that’s the case, the Browns now have a quarterback for the first time in what feels like forever.
