Would have loved to keep Bradberry but for 15 million a year...not happening.  

I don't give a damn who the QB is, this team is screwed. We won't be able to stop ANYBODY.

Not sure if this has been posted. But looks like he is gone.  
 

 

"Rebuilding year," Let's suck while paying 19 million to let Cam get killed. How is it fair? He can't prove himself on a terrible football team.

So second paid highest CB, by only 50k closer to the highest paid CB in the league? Isn’t he Ranked like #15-20? Where the hell is he pulling this from?

i think we need to move on from him for 15

You obviously don’t understand what Cam needs to prove. We aren’t measuring him on wins and losses. We already know he can lead a team to a SB. He needs to prove his arm can go a full season without falling apart. And a CB isn’t gonna make a difference one way or the other

I get why people are apprehensive.

But let's be real. It's easy to say let our top CB walk in February. When Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, and whoever the Bucs QB ends up being are abusing our secondary at record pace, fans will be singing a different tune no doubt.

I agree let’s be real. How many of you cam fans are going to be livid because we can’t afford a more quality oline FA prospect because the money was spent on Bradberry. He wants to be paid the most of any Cb in the league...it’s really kind of a no brained to not sign him and invest somewhere else.

Good bye. This is rebuild mode. lol Draft what you can. 

[Byrdman4real]

The decision is easy..............

Good luck to you

Bye

I hate this idea of "resetting the market" every year. Just because one guy got X in free agency last year does not mean a different guy should get X+ this year. I understand a player's desire to get as much as he can, but I don't understand the owners/GMs caving to those demands just because it is a new year.

Right now, according to overthecap.com, there is one cornerback making move $15M or more a year. ONE. There are only six making north of $14M. There are only thirteen making $12M+.

Bradberry is not one of the top 13 CBs in the league and should not be paid like one of the top three. I agree with the notion that he has the Panthers over the barrel, but overpaying is how Hurney got the team into the salary cap mess it was in when he was fired his first go around. He cannot make the same mistakes again, or the rebuild will be demolished before it can even get going.

Yet you don't understand basic economics.

Does extending Shaq instead of Brad end up hurting or helping us

No. I understand basic economics, including inflation and the salary cap coinciding with a yearly increase in new contracts. I also know that those two things aren’t enough to push someone not in the top 15-ish CBs in the league to being one of the highest paid.

you cam fans

If you find yourself rambling about Cam Newton in threads about cornerbacks, it might be time to speak to a mental health professional bud.

It’s a rebuild. You don’t rebuild by paying top dollar to James fuging Bradberry. Hit the bricks.

seems like it

[KillerKat]

Not worth it. You don't give top dollar to mediocre players just because they are a little better than what you have. You give top dollar to players that have proved their worth and have shown they will continue playing at a high level. Bradberry is a mediocre player and hugely overrated on this forum.
