The reason Cam isn't in a hurry to sign a contract

[blackcat]

Of course, he's waiting to see what his peers get paid.  Who wouldn't?  This may bode well for the Panthers if Seattle 'gets creative' like they've been talking about and somehow gets Wilson to accept less money in order to field a competitive team.  Cam is the best to play QB for us, and I'd hate to see him go, but I think what this FA has taught everyone is that huge QB contracts end up fuging the team.

We need Cotchery replaced this season.

I don't really disagree, but I just don't see that likely happening. Hopefully we can draft a decent WR.

[GoobyPls]

You are simply making things up to suit your opinion and it's obvious.

 

WHAT? name 5 other teams with a worst WR core. Ginn whose our second best receiver couldn't beat a rookie to play the slot., that speaks volumes to where are talent level is at.

2015 is over, burn this montherfuger down!

I've been waiting for this. I'll bring 100% American condensate

Please show me where anyone has made that claim. I certainly haven't crowned his ass the best GM there is. Unlike the majority of you whiners I understand the situation he's in and his plan to turn it around. I also know that it's not going to turn around overnight. If Cam does leave so be it. I know, Franchise QB' don't grow on trees yada yada. Spare me the rants about Cam being this once in a lifetime irreplaceable QB.

With that said, Cam will be offered a contract befitting his value to the team. If it matches Cams value of himself then the team will have a pretty good QB for the next 5 years or so. If not, then we will be looking for his replacement. Until then,let it go.

 

Overnight? he's going into his 3rd season

 

Lets say Cam does leave, why the hell should Gettleman keep his job? And if you were Cam is there a reason to stay? I mean really what indications has a team given you they want to build around you.

 

Don't give me the cap excuse, if really wanted to win the upcoming season he can backload a contract to Crabtree or Johnson if they don't work out we cut them next season without effecting the cap the same way the niners did.

[Carolina Cajun]

I'm sure this hasn't been discussed ad nauseam a billion times before...

[Jangler]

Gettleman gettin' paid and that's all that really matters.

 

damn these threads are getting more stupid every year. we might have record this year and it's just now mid March...

 

 

[Kurb]

If we tag Cam its gonna be 20 mill, I can just imagine the outrage already.

 

Why have outrage?

He would be getting paid.

[Montsta]

If we tag Cam its gonna be 20 mill, I can just imagine the outrage already.

And if Cam signs a new deal it's gonna be at roughly $20MM per season so what's your point?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you rode the short bus. Ignore my attempts to enlighten you on reality. Good luck with that.

Texans, Browns, Seahawks, Kansas City, Oakland, Vikings, Rams, Ravens all have bad WR groups that are equal to lesser than ours.

To get a player to agree to a back loaded contract you have to give them a signing bonus.  That is exactly what causes dead money when you cut a player early.

 

Also the Niners didn't cut Crabtree, his contract expired.  That is the reason he is not affecting their cap.

Before Cam commits....  he wants to make sure we sign Boykin.      Boykin is every Qb's dream come true.

Saying he's willing to let the market reset is a nice way of saying I'm not sold on being a Panther long term and I want to wait and see what happens.
