A condition which actually makes you more likely to part with older players. And also at the same time makes older players want to play somewhere else.

With someone like Shaq Thompson making $14MM per year, it seems like a fuging no brainer to keep Cam next year at $19MM. That’s a bargain. If he lights it up, you pay that man his money. If he doesn’t have it anymore, you thank him for reviving this shitshow of a franchise for as long as he did and move on. It’s not like we are gonna get a generational QB in the draft picking at 5-7 range anyway.

Only in your eyes.  Its best for the team to see what they have in Cam.  Its best for Cam to play next year.  If the team wants it to be here it will be here no matter what Cam wants

With the records and tie breakers being what they are, we're likely going to end up in the 8-10 range and that's assuming that we lose out.

All of the leagues best QBs were taken later than that. Much much later.

So there you go. These dreams of 8 teams passing over Joe Burrow for him to fall to us or any of this other nonsense I’ve heard ain’t happening. Keep Cam, draft a dominant offensive or defensive lineman, see what happens and move to the 2021 season with a clear proactive vision for the future, not a half assed reactionary process.

That assumes he's willing to play under that arrangement, though.

Contrary to popular belief, if he doesn't want to, you can't really make him.

And if I'm one of Newton's people, I'd be asking why should he assume all the risk? if there's another team out there that's willing to gamble on a longer contract or more money, why shouldn't he take that? And I'm afraid I'd need a better answer than "loyalty to the Panthers".

(for the fans, the kids or the puppies doesn't really work either)

Cam needs to play next year. If he sits out a year, 1 he will still be under contract with the team and 2 there will be another season he hasnt played.  And then what? He sits out again?  It makes no sense for him to not play out his contract if that is what the Panthers want.
