Chargers seem intent to let Cam hit free agency, and  even then they are undecided.  Cam destined to hit free agency and become a Pat.

Rivera is awfully quiet.  Could he go to Washington?  A smart Cam would stay away from RR.

Cam is going to have a tough call to make coming up soon.

Do I want money and security, or do I want to do anything to get my career back on track?

I can't speak for Cam Newton, but if I were in his inner circle, I would be telling him to not worry about the money, let's go try to win, show the world, revive my once great career.....but I'm not.

But, if I were Cam, I would be heading to New England.  I'd take a team friendly 2 year deal, and I would give it my very best shot.  At least if I were done...I would know that I had given it my best shot at being a winner at the end.  Not trying to spend the mans money, but that's what I would personally do.

lol we will have let the top 3 players we've ever had go for literally NOTHING combined....combined haahahha

 

No one is offering anything for Cam. Luke retired. Bradberry wanted to be paid too much though.

That's what happens a lot with great players... 

Just look at Tom Brady for the latest example. It's more common to not get anything for them than to trade them for something. So quit acting like it's just us. It's the way of the business

Not sure Bradberry is one of our top 3 players ever

I agree to a certain extent.

Cam delaying surgery kinda put us in this position though....which I suspect was done on purpose.

If Cam were healthy right now, I think that we could possibly net something for him....but you are right, most of the time, the teams greats walk away with very little going back to the team.

"No one wants my once amazing quarterback!!!

This is outrage!!! He's worth every first round pick for the next 20 years!!!"

Not sure if you're counting Luke in that. If so, Luke wasn't technically "let go". He chose to retire.

The point that our roster has been horribly mismanaged is a valid one though.

Yea just look at the guy who spent 20 years in one spot and had the owner and HC come out with real love instead of a bs and misleading report that cam had to come out and clarify. Yea look at that example...tfoh

They’ll get a 3rd round comp and NE couldn’t get anything for him. They agreed not to franchise him so he was an UFA. We can trade Cam, big difference. When we finally release him then we won’t get a comp pick and we’ll officially get nothing.

I don't think so. This is the same GM that traded up to get Trubisky when both Watson and Mahomes were available. 

And gave up a hefty price to move up a single spot to steal him from ABSOLUTELY NO ONE.

Bears and QBs lol.

Many on this board were convinced Cam was worth a first, and now it's clear teams won't even give a FOURTH rounder for him.  Kind of says it all doesn't it?

Fans have an over inflated view of his skill level.
