Cam Newton Agrees to 5 year contract extension worth 103 million.

Fully guaranteed wouldn't make sense.  We could just Franchise him for 2 years if that was the plan. 

[CatMan72]

If the only deal Cam would accept is 100 mil fully guaranteed, you give it to him... simple and plain. 

 

[PantherBrew]

He probably meant to tweet "full of guarantees"

The details will be interesting

People... This wasn't Cam and Gettleman in a room together talking. Cam probably had nearly nothing to do with this at all. And there's no way his agent was going to be budging or in a hurry to get a deal after an injury-plagued down year. Gettleman decided he needed to get it done this year and probably changed his stance on the numbers. Possibly for Jeremy's exact reason in the other thread.

No the guaranteed money would be a little north of $40 million. Chill. 

Also, I'm extremely extremely happy about this. If you're a Cam hater, you can suck my *******.

[Mr. Scot]

On to actual important topics...

What I see in this is it shows the team being proactive rather than reactive. They're not waiting for other teams to set the market.   They're paving their own road.

I like it.

It's my understanding that the fully guaranteed money in an NFL contract immediately goes into escrow.  Does JR really have $100M in liquid assets just lying around to use on a whim?  If the reports are to believe, it sounds like this deal came together very quickly, so yeah, he'd have to have $100M in liquid assets just lying around to use on a whim if the contract is fully guaranteed.

FWIW, I'm not buying this fully guaranteed stuff.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Y'all are dumb if you think he or any player ever would get $100 million guaranteed. We're another 10 years from that kind of money being guaranteed.

He probably meant to tweet "full of guarantees" 

​this is what i think it was just awkwardly worded.

S c h l o n g is censored now too? Let me check something else: The Golden Calf of Bristol

 

Oh FFS Igo, can you not lighten this filter up? You're the Congress of people, learn to just leave something alone if it's okay.

[KJ89]

I'm fuging happy 

[teeray]

This was basically my reaction when I read this

[MechaZain]

Isn't a fully guaranteed contract super beneficial to the cap?
