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

Cam's about to get paid, and rightfully so.

i bet the colts and seahawks are watching their phones right about now

[Montsta]

​Steph has openly stated he would play in Charlotte. He's not a max guy in GS right now, and they have people to pay. Don't be shocked if it happens.

The highest three players on GS roster are...wait for it...

Andre Iguadola (bench)

David Lee (bench)

Andrew Bogut (slow and one dimensional)

 

Do you honestly think there is a chance that Curry doesn't get a max extension when the time comes? I understand you guys have dreams of the kid playing in Charlotte because he's responded with "sure I've thought about it, how could I not?" when asked about playing in Charlotte by local Charlotte reporters while playing the Bobcats (now Hornets), but you guys put an awful lot of stock into that crap. 

I'm not gonna drift this awesome news thread with Steph Curry news. Go to the NBA forum if you'd like to talk more about that.

Biggest signing ever in franchise history.  Now, we gotta turn our attention to Luke.

The key question is who caved. Cam had nothing to gain by signing this early after an off year.

Another injury is probably biggest fear from his camp

[BelgianPantherFan]

Great news! A healthy Cam, no contract worries, upgraded WR & OL groups... Sit back, and enjoy the show guys.

[Proudiddy]

I hereby declare this day, Cam Newton Day, in all of Panthersland!

 

One thing though, is it just me,  or does the length of 5-years seem a bit short?  Without looking, I thought the most recent franchise QB deals were 6-7 years? 

 

Not nitpicking, just curious...   Regardless,  I'm ecstatic! Cam...   Whoaaaaaaaa Cam!

Would be a 6 year deal.  So I will go 6 years 120 mil or somewhere close to that. 40 percent guaranteed.

new contract 2015 contract runs through 2020.  So 2015 season/ 2016/ 2017/2018/2019/ and runs through 2020 so 6 year contract.

[Kurb]

30 mill a yr....

[TheRumGone]

Yes yes yes yes!

 

i wanted the deal done this year!

[panthers55]

Anyone who thought this wasnt going to get done are the crazy ones. It was just a matter of when it was going to get done not if.

Will be worth every penny  (assuming 20 million a year if we don't bid against ourselves a la Hurney.)
