Panthers and Cam Newton in contract talks

[carpanfan96]

So realistically how much could Cam be looking to bank. I think it would be hard to put a value on the guy until you see what he does with decent talent around him. Luck has had offensive talent around him since day one, so his numbers are to be expected. Wilson has had Lynch and a number 1 defense. What has Cam had except for pedestrian receivers(minus Smith), shaky offensive lines, an aging "star" running back and a coach who is still learning OTJ.

Considering cook got Cutler a 7 year deal worth 127 with 54 guaranteed....I think you look at that contract as the floor of what Cook is looking for, of course with more money though.

Realistically Cam can get 22-25m a season. 7 years 160 million, 70m guaranteed. As nuts as that sounds, I'd be willing to bet that Cook is looking for something similar for Cam.

I think Cook is going to be looking to get a big number, but if push comes to shove, I don't see Cam being the type to let his agent screw him or the team over here. Cam will take a lower number if he has to for the sake of the team. Just a gut feeling.

[Gabeking]

Fug that, To high of a guarantee. Also Wilson or Luck wont get that much guaranteed.

You're right just trade him for Geno smith and a 3rd

Lol

We're going to lose him

 

I really doubt it.  When push comes to shove, Cam is going to get a huge contract.  Gettleman may hate it, but Cam gives us the best chance to win a superbowl.  You have to pay your Franchise QB.  Otherwise, you're back to square one.  Who wants to break in another rookie QB in a year or two? 

 

Nope, Cam's going to stay a Panther.  It's going to be a huge number, but that's the way the NFL works.  The Panthers and Cam are going to see what Seattle and Indy do for their QBs and work from there.  This is all just dancing right now.

 

(Now that I say that, Cam's contract with the Panthers will be announced in 10 minutes...)

Promise?  

[MechaZain]

It's too bad that Chicago's standards are terrible because Cutler's deal would be perfect for Cam

[Pox 08]

I'm not worried about it.

 

G-man has worked on teams with Eli and Elway.....so he knows that when you have a franchise qb,  you keep him no matter what..  even if you have to open the ol' wallet and pay him a little more than you feel he's worth.
