Who is going to get paid more?

So, now since Cam Newton's Contract details have been made public. Who is going to get paid more?

Will Luke's Contract be more? Do LB get paid more than a QB? Is Luke expecting a Big Contract? IMO Luke wouldn't mind a huge payday, however, I don't think he cares that much about big money, as long as he is paid decent.

Is this a serious question?

 

Luke will get a huge payday, for a MLB, and he will stay here in Carolina. There is no way he goes elsewhere. MLB is the QB of the defense, but the pay will be about half of what Cam got. Perhaps a little more. Linebackers do not get close to QB money. That's just the way it is.

Elite DLINE, can get close...and an extra elite WR, OLINE and a CB here and there but QB money is big money.

Since this thread basically went down the gutter, I'll save it by making a better question out of the thread title...

 

Who is going to get paid more? Wilson or Luck?

 

 

 

Answer: whoever gets paid last.

Luck, easy. I see Luck getting a 5 year 115 mil deal with 75 million guaranteed.

​I think he will too, but I think it'll be because the Colts will be in no rush to extend him since they have the 5th year option. Wilson does not, so his will come first and Luck's agents will want to top that. If Luck's comes first, Wilson's agents will want to top it by arguing he won a Super Bowl and got them to another. So whoever signs first will make less. May be a power struggle by the agents to get more and they'll end up having some complications and franchise tagging, etc. I'd love to see that.

Even the top middle linebackers don't make quarterback money.

I suspect Luke will probably have little to nothing to do with his contract talks. Kuechly strikes me as a 'talk to my agent about that stuff' type.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
