So what does Gettleman do with Cam?

[goodoleboy]

Talking for next year. Franchise tag or long term deal. He has the option to tag again next year so it's not pressing that the deal gets done this year

[teeray]

Easy question

 

 

Long term deal

[Kurb]

A fair deal will be offered.

If Cam says no, he gets tagged.

Then another fair deal,will be offered.

If he says no, he gets tagged.

[Jackofalltrades]

I just hope Cam doesn't expect a mega deal that would cripple the team, a la Drew Brees.

Something team friendly that pays him fairly is ideal. We'll see how it works out.

Long term deal, no question. Cam is now in the same situation as Steve Smith throughout most of his career (incredible talent with mediocre surrounding cast and questionable coaching), but the difference now is that Gentleman knows exactly what it takes to build a winning team in today's NFL and can do it.

[Ivan The Awesome]

The fifth year option hasn't been exercised yet correct? So tagging isn't needed right?

He is under contract with 5th year option next season, so no franchise tag until 2016

 

Don't wait that long, get a long term deal done this offseason

I think gentlemen knows what he has...a developing QB with an enormous ceiling. But he won't pay big bucks for potential. Look for a deal that cam will turn down.

Cam has exceeded the play of MOST QBs WHO WERE DRAFTED #1 (most were busts), and shattered those of most of his critics (but they are still trying), but unfortunately for him, he is, historically, playing at the same time as Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, to whom he is judged against. He won't get greatest of all time money, which he won't expect, and he clearly wants to win a Super Bowl more than anything and realizes he can't do it alone. He also knows that Luke needs to get paid, too. He'll be reasonable, because like he said when he got his rookie deal, "It's still more money than I've ever had."

 

Cam's agent, on the other hand...

[MedellinHeel]

If I am GM I am first firing Shula and bringing in a QB guru / whisperer and a elite OC. Then I will hold off on making a deal with Cam until I can see what he looks like with competent coaching.

 

If he still is widely inconsistent I will offer him a fair deal for his play. Dang sure would not break the bank for a qb that hasnt turned the corner in year 5 or so.

Do yall think Luke will get paid this offseason and Cam might leave after 2016 - his ceiling is not that high

Agree. This is pretty much what I was getting at.
