Probably closer to $10mill since he chose charlotte to raise his family. He REALLY likes the South. I was following why he left Baltimore and he basically told them there was no money they could offer him to stay in Baltimore (because he didn't want to raise a family there)

He might even take less than 10 mill a year. I got the sense he took less money to be here. Baltimore is real shitty.

Give him a lifetime contract 

[PanthersGTI]

Get it done Fitt ASAP, cannot let guys like this walk out the door. Its too hard to build a quality O line. fug pay him above that to secure him IDGAF.

[Smithers]

He’s worth it imo.  He took less than market to sign here according to his wife on Twitter, so maybe he will give us another discount.  But either way, gotta lock him up.

best center we had since kalil retired while throwing top money at bums like Paradis and elflein

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Lol no way Bozeman is worth top 5 center money after half a season of playing. I like him but just because he isn’t a bottom tier center doesn’t mean we should break the bank for one.

I think 7-8 million per year would be reasonable

BBoze has a career earnings amount just north of 5mil. It would seem a little crazy to double that per year at his age.

I think a 3 year/ 18-23 mil type deal could get it done.

Whatever they do, I would not let him get away. He is most definitely worth a larger contract. Lots of debate about how much he is worth. Consider the alternative of what we have had at center and his value becomes obvious.

A good center is just as important as a good WR for a young QB.

Pay the man.

They are worth much more than a good wr.  The two most important positions on the oline are 1. LT and 2a. Center. A good RT is important but somewhat easier to draft and develop over the first but it's certainly critical. So it is 2b., some will argue differently so whatever.  Guards are 3rd in that order.

A mountain of a man like Bozeman who can anchor the middle the way he does? The one person that touches the ball every play other than the qb and calls protections for the oline? Yes, he is absolutely worth every penny.

The Panthers need to sign center Bradley Bozeman as soon as possible, no matter what it takes.

If he'd take $8M, run don't walk to sign the contract. He worked his way through a cheap rookie contract with the Ravens and signed a cheap 1 year prove it deal with us, so he is definitely looking to get paid. He's not just some bum off the street though, he's a proven, 4 year starter. $12M seems a little high though, I expect the actual number to be around $10M, maybe with some incentive, high guaranteed money thrown in to entice him.

We cut the guy after this season and we save 4.75 million. Roll that money over to the beast Bozeman and call it a day 

Great idea. $7,552,500 is to much money to pay a backup center.

[MickMixon'sMetaphors]

This would be a deal endorsed by Christian McCaffrey for sure.

I remember just before the season started he said he wanted to stay here because he loved the city...if he's planning to raise a family, getting a 4 year deal at 7 mill per year will have him set for life, and he'll still be young enough to sign another deal after that.  

He's the kind of guy we want, not a lot of players who would choose Charlotte over a glamour city.
