CMC signs extension

[Carolina Cajun]

While I hate paying RB's, he's also our best receiver and in Joe Brady's offense is likely to flourish more than ever before.  I'm sorry, Kamara doesn't have CMC's skill, just wasn't used to his fullest extent.  he's also now the new face of the panthers, cant afford to lose him.  If used correctly, he definitely can earn that contract, and I'm more confident under this regime that he will.

People really think this is being overpaid? If for whatever he is getting too much wear at running back he can play out the rest of his career as a great wide receiver. He doesn't just have to be a running back. Hell he isn't just a running back. 

Exactly. 

Who else is making this much base/yr?  Davante Adams, Sammy Watkins, Alshon Jeffery, Allen Robinson.  We're fine.  This isn't a bad Hurney deal.  Maybe he slows down at the end of the contract but the guy is 23.  Look what LT was able to do his first 8 season.

I’m not stating my opinion or saying I agree with any of this. I’m basically reiterating stuff Tepper has already talked about. This is a “process” and we’re going to lose before we start winning again but we should trust the process according to Tepper.

Keeping McCaffrey around helps keep Tepper’s product relevant during this so called “process” aka the Panthers sucking ass for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I guess it is just an odd move overall to pay a RB so much money during a time period where he is going to likely be on some very bad teams. Hopefully this pays off in 4-6 years.

If he stays healthy and produces the way he has for the next four years, it's a steal. RBs like CMC are about to be paid a lot more moving forward, we got CMC locked up on the smaller side of that right now. QBs are about to drop in value in terms of cap as teams continue to win by having an OK-to-good QB and elite skill players around him.

CMC was the best player on the roster with Luke and Cam Healthy.

Some of y'all are straight up insane.

I was about to start a thread talking about we should seriously consider trading him.  His trade value would never be higher then it is this offseason and paying him this amount was only a matter of time.

The only way you can remotely justify paying this kind of money to a RB, is if he used heavily in the passing game, and just not on screens and check downs, because any running back can do that for you.

With that being said CMC is one of the few RBs in the league that has that potential.

I hope we don't end up regretting this.  I wouldn't have done it, but at the same time if they would have traded him the fan base would have had a fit.  It almost takes more nerve not to pay him then it does to pay him.

First off, no you can't. Second, it's fair to say that literally any player stands a 50/50 chance of getting hurt on any given play. So, realistically, we shouldn't pay anybody. Sign rookies to their rookie deals, sign FAs for one year deals, because tying up money long term is a big risk if a player misses significant time.

Curious...were you in the "sign Cam to whatever he wants" camp?

If he can replicate last year in any fashion...well deserved.

And how many wins did that translate into?

I will bet anything he misses time this season.  I will take whatever bet someone wants to do

He is exceptional but take the three best examples of a dual threat RB listed in this thread(Curtis Martin, LT, Marshall Faulk). One combined Super Bowl ring.

RB's don't carry teams to Super Bowls anymore. 

LT got very close, his team just choked when it mattered because chargers. that team was consistently contending tho. and again, CMC isn't just a RB. the only player in that list on CMCs level in terms of receiving ability is faulk, the one who has a ring and went to another super bowl as well.
