Newton to report Tuesday

Recommended Posts

The agents for No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Newton -- Tony Paige, Bus Cook and Chitta Mallik -- are scheduled to begin contract negotiations Tuesday with the Carolina Panthers to get Newton signed as soon as possible, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Newton is expected to report to the team facility in Charlotte on Tuesday while his deal is being negotiated. The parameters of the new rookie wage system will allow the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback to sign a four-year deal in the range of $22.3 million with a $14.3 million option for the fifth year.

There is minor room for negotiations, but the new system should not make the contract too complicated.

To compare, without the rookie system in place last year, No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford signed a deal with the Rams that could pay him a maximum of $78 million over six years with $50 million guaranteed.

Awesome. I am so pumped to see Cam on the field this season. I am also very interested in seeing D-Will, Stewart, and Cam on the field at the same time. I believe that with the new coaching staff we will see our boys used to their full potential, and not just pounding it on 3rd & 18.

does his jersey number have to be determined before a contract signing? (sorry if that is a dumb question)

I think he will take #5

I think he can announce his number before signing. But, I'm sure that's the least thing on his mind.

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
