Will Cam jump ship when contract is up?

Moving into the 2018 season and just two years away from 2020. Cam has taken an ass beating both on and off the field. He has been dealt a lousy hand with the offensive receiving corp and a subpar O.C. Do you feel that he will stay or decide to move on regardless of $$$ offered or how this team may perform until then with new ownership. Opinions please....

Depends on how the team plays in the next two years, if we are contenders each year I think he sticks around.  He really does value winning over how much he gets 'beat up'.  All he wants to do is win.  If we are competitive each year I feel like he'd re-sign, but he will want to get paid big bucks as expected for being a majority of our offense the last 9 years.

Cam will be 31 when he becomes an UFA. He could be franchised for a year, if he has anything left, for a reasonable amount of money, then the team lets him walk at 32. Based on his style of play, it would probably be the best time for the team to part ways. He hasn't shown to be the type of quarterback who will be a league leader worthy of a huge contract if can't play with physicality.

When he's 32 years old, I doubt he'll have that. We should enjoy him until then.

Cam should retire when his contract is up. As much as we all love him, he doesnt seem to have the skills to last and be successful as age takes away slowly the gifts and abilities that make so many around here hang on his nuts. He cant take those hits much longer. He cant keep running like he has into his mid 30's. Regardless of how he plays and our record until his contract is up doesnt matter. He has not shown an ability to grow as a passer and have the same longevity as well...so many of the other "older" Qb's.

I think Cam's fate will depend on who the GM is at the time the new contract negotiations begin.   If it's Hurney Cam will get the highest contract for any player ever at that time.   A new GM? Anything from an extension to a trade is on the table.

This is his first year with a QB coach not named Mike Shula. Norv was hired to develop Cam into a more polished passer and develop a more efficient offense. Shula's offensive design did not protect Cam in any way. Lets see how his development plays out the next two years with some different style of teaching before slamming the door.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
