Quarterback Jake Delhomme

But not in New Orleans

Former Saints Backup Quarterback Jake Delhomme has found a new home, in of all places, Cleveland. Delhomme, signed a new contract with the Browns late Saturday.

It’s funny, because the Cajun Gambit (No relation to the Cajun Cannon) and I were eating at the Hooter’s Restaurant in Gretna on Friday and we were discussing this very fact. I told the Gambit that I almost wrote an article last week after Delhomme was released from the Carolina Panthers. I thought to myself, “Hey, maybe you should write an article about the possibilty of Jake returning to New Orleans as a Saints Backup”. But then I thought, is that really a possibilty? Well, Lo and behold, it did become a possibility, as Delhomme was scheduled to make a visit with the Saints for a workout.

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis had previously stated that Delhomme’s visit was more of an exploratory visit, to see if Delhomme was interested in a backup role with the team. Come on, we all know that Drew Brees is New Orleans’ franchise quarterback. And Jake is certainly entering the “backup” stage of his career. At least that is what we all thought.

With Cleveland, Jake will try to resurrect his career as a starting quarterback. That’s right, I said the “Starting Quarterback” with the Cleveland Browns. It’s not written in stone, but it is a possibility. The Browns have pretty much had a merry-go-round of players at the quarteback position for the past 11 years. Rumors were already swirling that current Browns quarterback Brady Quinn would be dealt to another NFL team.

The new management team in Cleveland was never sold on Quinn and the Brown’s President, Mike Holmgren, said he doesn’t believe in quarterback competitions. Therefore, you shouldn’t expect to see one in Cleveland. What you should expect is for the Brown’s to shop Quinn to see what he is worth. He doesn’t have a whole lot of starts under his belt. He backed up Derek Anderson for two years and was benched this past year after a disappointing start. Top it off with the fact that Seattle sent Quarterback Senaca Wallace to the Browns earlier this week and the writing is now on the wall for Quinn.

So what does all of this mean. It mean’s that at the ripe old age of 35 years, Jake will once again try to lead a team to the promised land. It just won’t be in the promised land of New Orleans.

It took 43 years for the Saints to win their first title, and four weeks for NFL Films and Warner Home Video to complete a commemorative video recapping the best season in franchise history.  The video’s official release was set for Tuesday, hours after the premiere at the 95-year-old Prytania Theater in New Orleans’ historic Uptown neighborhood. Jeff Brown, a Warner Home Video executive vice president specializing in TV sports and animation, said orders from retailers were already 25 percent above expectations. The video covers the season game-by-game, with highlights from key plays and in-game audio from players and coaches.

After waiting for 43 years, the patience of long-suffering fans in the Gulf Coast region was finally rewarded. The New Orleans Saints, long the symbol of football futility, enjoyed the greatest year in franchise history. They posted the team’s best-ever regular-season record, then earned their first-ever trip to the Super Bowl. The Saints then completed a storybook finish by upsetting the favored Colts to claim their first Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Relive all the thrilling moments of the 2009 season, from opening day right through their triumph in Miami, with action from every regular-season and playoff game–the cliffhangers, comebacks and unforgettable moments. Hear all the sideline sound, player and coaches wires and locker room celebrations as the cameras and microphones of NFL Films recapture the thrills and drama of the Saints’ super season–a championship that restored hope and pride to the Crescent City.
