Cam Newton "Nobody Called Me....They Sent a Text"

Yeah, yeah I know, I know "Another Cam Thread"...you clicked on it lol.

Point being, this is VERY much worth the watch, if it's a topic you're interested in.
Even if you're not, it's a cool conversation, very much like LeBron's 'The Shop'
He definitely let you in on how it went down and his mentality throughout his time in Carolina as far as dedicating himself to the organization.

A new podcast/documentary dropped on the Ringer yesterday as well called "The Cam Chronicles".  Should shine some light on Cam's POV even more.  Sad to hear even in that Cam saying in January how he wants to stay, wants to win a SB here, etc. and the team possibly just stringing him along and treating him like trash on the way out whether it was in the cards to keep him or not.

One thing that Cam did not mention in the interview when it came to not being picked up was money.  Which makes me wonder just how willing he was to not accept a lucrative deal to sign with a team.  It wouldn't surprise me if he wanted upper tier money, but then when the Patriots called specifically he decided it could prolong his career and get him that huge deal the next year.

says a lot that he didn’t.  

...been a few other things that have said a lot. 
 

 

 

The only thing that will say anything to me is the success of the franchise in next 5 years. All else is irrelevant.

    • Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.
    • At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves? 
    • I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
