Bang for Buck: Cam Newton Worth $17mln/year

Meanwhile, the Panthers nabbed Newton in the first post-CBA draft, and are making out like bandits. At $1 million for every 5.3 points of EPA, Newton would be worth something like $17 million a year on the open market today ... and he's just 22 years old. . .

. . .And Carolina fans should get ready: the last time a team had a quarterback this young and this good this far below market value locked up for this long, his name was Tom Brady.

I agree with this statement.

O God we might as well realse a #2 QB Cam can take all the reps.

Its just too bad Hurney wasted all the cap space this provided overpaying injured and marginal talent.

when his rookie deal gets renegotiated in a few years, you better believe that he'll be getting that much. i don't have a problem with that, btw.

The Davis contract has an out after this season. I wouldn't say anyone else has proven to be injury prone. Marginal is, as always, a constant debate.

In a few years, when Cam is the best QB this franchise as drafted, scouted, trained, and built around....

you better believe we are going to make it rain in his contract extension.
