contract extension

Jamie Carragher would have "no problem" moving to another club if Liverpool decide against offering him a contract extension.

The Carolina Panthers cut Jake Delhomme late Thursday, just over a year after they gave him a lucrative contract extension only to watch him have his worst season as a pro.

Delhomme's agent, Rick Smith, confirmed the move and said Delhomme would wait until Friday to talk to reporters.

It signals the Panthers intend to go with Matt Moore or someone new at quarterback for the first time since...

The Houston Texans have signed coach Gary Kubiak to a contract extension that runs through the 2012 season.

The Texans went 9-7 in 2009, the franchise's first winning record. Houston is 31-33 in Kubiak's four seasons, though the team is still seeking its first playoff berth.

The 48-year-old Kubiak took over the Texans in January 2006 after the team finished 2-14.

The Detroit Tigers and ace Justin Verlander have come to an agreement on a new five year, 80 million dollar contract extension.

This will insure that Verlander will remain a part of teh Tigers organization until 2014. It will also cover his final two years of arbitration, and barring a trade Verlander will pitch his entire career in Detroit.

The Tigers and Justin Verlander have discussed a five-year, $75 million contract extension, one source confirmed to FOXSports.com.

The timing of this announcement is very curious, but the San Diego Chargers have announced that Head Coach Norv Turner has received a three year contract extension.

I say that it is a curios time for an announcement because the Charger just suffered another embarrassing loss in the playoffs.

In fact it may be time for both Turner, and General Manager AJ Smith to admit to themselves that this is as far as they can take t his team, and it is time for the team to find a GM/head coach combination that can get this team over the hump to a Super Bowl Championship .

Geoff Petrie will get another chance to turn the Sacramento Kings from a struggling franchise into a championship contender.

Pau Gasol knows he surprised nobody by agreeing to a three-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers nearly two seasons before it kicks in.

Jimmie Johnson, on the verge of a NASCAR record fourth consecutive championship, signed a contract extension Friday to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2015 season.

Clearly Jay Cutler has made the Chicago Bears better, but he really hasn't proven that he is the reason they are as improved yet.

With that in mind the decision by the Bears to extend him two years for a pretty significant amount of money seems a little premature.

Let us not forget that Cutler's old team, with Chicago's old QB are 6-0 and headed toward the Super Bowl, while it seems the Bears are destined for a wild card playoff game they might not be able to win.

The simple fact here it seems the Bears jumped the gun a little by signing this deal.
