BYE Week Musings: Guess Cam’s Next Contract

[thunderraiden]

With it being the BYE week and we see Cam evolving into the undeniable GOAT we all know he would be, it got me thinking. Currently every poop QB that crosses the Dalton line (aka average or better) sets a record when they sign a new contract with the exception of Drew Brees who took a paycut to stay in the shitty swamp for two more years before retiring.

So here we are, we have next offseason with no drama about Cam’s next contract but all indications are that a deal will have to be reached by the time training camp ends in 2020. My question is this, what do you guys think Cam’s next contract is gonna be? I’m personally hoping its around 30~ Mill a year and that would be a sweatheart deal in my eyes. Realistically, I know Cam will likely command $36 million a year, at 30 years young and a likely 5 year extention we would see Cam in a Panthers uniform until he is 36 years old on a $180 million contract. Whew.

By this time we should have the new contract rules in place with the new progressive salary cap. By 2019 the NFL and NFLPA will agree on a whole new structure. My prediction is teams will have percentages of the cap allocated to positions and not players. this will allow them to ground these irrational payouts that are happening and provide fully guaranteed contracts to all players with clauses of course.

I think your a tad delusional... Cam Has a lot of hits under his belt for a QB hes carried the ball a ton, the team is more likely to see his value lower due to his running back amount of hits.... 30 is far from old for most QB's unless Cam drastically changes his playing style realistically his value is going to take a huge hit..... I hope otherwise but I don't see him playing past 34-35.

5 years, 50mil.

 

Takes less to save us cap to get him help on Oline, like Brady did

I think the complete opposite in regards to his retiring. This guy keeps his body in peak physical condition, much like Lebron.  He has been sliding WAY more lately in running situations as well.  I think he plays late into his 30's.  The guy is a grown child when he gets on the field, the day you start seeing him taking the game 'more serious' without that joy...that's the year he'll hang them up.

Not speculating on the future but, in today's market, Cam's current deal is a MAJOR bargain.

Cam's next contract will not be with the Panthers. Not hating just think he will go elsewhere.

a bajillion

Highly doubt it and even if he wanted to leave we'd certainly tag him a couple years and he'd be here through 2022 at least.

Why do you think this? He didn't leave last time, and he has only ever shown nothing but love to the organization. Like, we always knew that Cousins was going to leave Washington, but Cam has never even hinted at it. The only place that makes sense is Atlanta, and I imagine Cam and Ryan's careers will likely end around the same time.

Cam has 856 career carries, not to mention the abuse he's taken in the pocket because in years past the refs let him get blasted. 

Those cumulative hits take a toll and the past two years his dings have begun to collect Shoulder/Ankle/Ribs ect. I hope I'm wrong but I think hes going to end up with a running back career arc unless he dramatically alters his style of play.

Lol so many terrible takes from Panthers fans who know nothing about their QB. 

There’s possibly one player in this league who is more competitive then Cam and he’s playing his 16th season at age 40. You jokers really think he takes this much care of his body to walk away from the game at 35???

And ignore @Squirrel he’s been clowning Cam since he got drafted. There’s no chance he walks away from the Carolinas. He’s building something here and he’s shown that he’s committed to this region and fan base, the true fans have responded during the home games this season.

I have never clowned Cam. Now Jake yes.  But to expand on my reasoning. Cam will probably go to Atlanta. Hometown home team. It won't be anything personal.  But I can see it happening and would wish him well. Excluding against us.

If Cam wins us a super bowl, he'll get paid. If not, i can see tepper doing his complete implementation after it's up. Cam would go immediately to Dallas
