Nope because he is finished. 

Thanks for the update. How many NFL coaching staffs have you worked under?

[NAS]

Cam is a victim of playing for a head coach who was too selfish to sit him when he injured his shoulder: not once, but twice and again when he injured his foot.  Cam wanted to prove he was tough and that was stupid, but I lay most of the blame for Cam's career being finished (as a Panther) at Ron Rivera and using Cam's own deception about his injuries as an excuse to ride him into  the ground.  F U  Ron Rivera.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have to pay him if we release him, right? Keep him until we have to pare the roster down to 53.

Could have kept Cam for one more year in a make or break season at 19 million. Nope let’s sign another injury prone QB at 60 million and tell everyone we aren’t tanking.

2 mil is what we owe Cam this season the rest of his salary is free

His should was jacked up a few seasons earlier as well. Rumors flying he played through a partially torn rotator cuff.

It's still very difficult to figure out. He's a mediocre bandaid veteran who has never thrown more than 14 TDs in a season and he has what is probably the most devastating knee injury possible in his medical file.

You have to factor in the coach's ego.

"Maybe he wasn't a world-beater before, but watch what happens when I'm coaching him."

It's the same kind of thinking that led to the Patriots getting Antonio Brown.

So, what is the over/under on him going to ATL in the future?

I cant wait to see him over throw passes for another team !!

Yeh this is the big head scratcher. So teddy played 5 games last season and of course won, but with a pretty good team and a pretty good coach... he hasn’t played a full season yet after a brutal injury. Before his injury he was a checkdown king and not a big time quarterback...

he hardly warranted his contract. We paid him top QB money while he’s not much more proven to come back than our own for $20 million.

 

Agree with this post. Right on the money. If they wanted to tank they could have just started Allen the entire season if Cam got hurt again.

Cam to Patriots. Guarantee this will happen.

Zero.

They owe Matt Ryan too much money.

I hope it does.  I hope Cam can resurrect his career and win a SB with NE, as long as it's not against the Panthers.

So Cam "shoulders" none of the blame in your scenario? Gotta love that pun haha.

If this happened I’ll buy my first Patriots Jersey,.. ha.

i live in Orlando so it’s easy for the Panthers to be an afterthought and pull for Tom Brady to kill them 2 times per year.

”too much team loyalty” is what “fans” are saying towards players,.. well that can be said of loyalty towards a team too.
