I also said I wouldn't say I told you so, but it was just too tempting. Of course nothing has been done -- "OFFICIALLY" -- but we'll see won't we? Some may have forgot the conversation, so I'll do a little refresher for ya'll :

"The Panthers have already said that next year they plan to give Jake a raise. If they're gonna give him a raise then they CLEARLY don't agree with your little theory about signing 2nd or 3rd tier players as the QB" -- Saintfan in a Post to Whodat

"How do you know what the Panthers will have to pay him after this year? Have you read something somewhere?" -- JOESAM2002

"Yes, JOESAM, I did read that, and I'll see if I can find the article. " -- Saintfan just prior to posting a link to an article indicating Jake could be up for more money.

"In fact if I recall correctly, what I'm speaking of in the earlier post was a show on the NFL Network where John Fox was interviewed and said they would have to pay Jake a "starters" salary next year." -- Saintfan

"I'm not taking any sides here. But I looked for info on Jake asking for more money and found none. " -- Gatorman

And Now...Gents (and ladies)...the plot officially thickens

In a month, Delhomme will return to Charlotte for the beginning of the Panthers' offseason workout program. By the summer, he hopes to have a contract extension completed that will lock him in as the Panthers' No. 1 quarterback for the next 5-6 years.

"Certainly, the team needs to address the free agents first," said Delhomme, who still has a year remaining on his current contract. "But I'd like to get something knocked out after that, and I think it will happen. I want to be a Carolina Panther. I don't want to be anywhere else."

Here's the Link...more to come I'm quite certain! ;)
