Draft Day Trade Rumors Starting Up *Cam Newton News*

[Mother Grabber]

Can't trade players only picks.

Well...there's always ways around the rules. Haynesworth signed with the Redskins 5sec after he became a free agent after all.

[Murph]

I thought we could trade players now, just no one knows how to go about it

Pretty much this. If the judge rules today to deny the "stay", techincally it should be business as usual and player trades would be allowed. However since an appeal is pending, I'm betting most teams would be nervous about doing these types of trades. I know I would.

[Ricky Spanish]

we BETTER not be giving cam newton a contract similar to bradford's... that's just asking for trouble...

that's not a knock against Newton, I wouldn't pay that kidn of money to ANYONE in this damn draft, no one is worth it this year.

[mav1234]

truth is bradford got a ton of money but by year 3 he wont even be in the top 10 highest paid QBs in the league supposedly, or so the talking heads say.

[Swarly]

also why the FUG wouldn't we wait until there is a new CBA that will include a rookie salary cap to sign him? if we sign him to a $40 million+++ guaranteed contract I'll fuging RAGE.

Why would they be discussing contract with Cam. Especially when JR is one of the top dogs in this CBA fight? He wouldn't agree to something when he expects a rookie salary cap.

Very good point...no need to negotiate now, if we know there will be rookie pay scale coming this summer.

Swap #1 and #4 with Cincinnati for Palmer, then take whichever is left of Dareus, PP7, Green and Jones. Two for one special. I'll even throw in Smith if they sweeten it with their 2nd. 9 more hours to dream before I have to wake up with Cam Newton in my bed.

That means you'll be an icon by association!

According to Sal Pal (per ESPN bottomline):

Two GMs have told him there are no negotiations happening with draft picks right now.

[Udogg]

Because its a chance of the same rules as last year. If that's the case an unofficial no salary cap year. So probably would structure the rookie contracts about the same as last year also.

Makes sense to at least start the discussion if you know he's the guy you are going to take.

[Carolina Husker]

Had we not gotten stupid last season with AE we would be in GREAT draft position this year.

Instead we are literally fuged into taking Newton.

Definitely not literally.

How does everyone feel about trading our 1st from next year to get back into the 2nd this year?

I would trade our first from this year for a top ten pick next year straight up. This class is weak.
