Cam Newton contract extension?

Historically it has been assumed that we sign Cam to a lucrative extension as soon as the bargaining agreement allows it. I believe this would be at the end of this season, so around February?

 

With Gettleman here and Rivera potentially gone things could be a little different. I assume we would still keep sign a new contract, it just wouldn't be as big as we all thought unless he rebounds this year. I can't imagine we want him testing free agency no matter how he does. I can't recall the last time a franchise QB wasn't locked up ASAP.

 

Or do we let him ride out his contract before doing anything?

I cant see Newton in any position to demand some sort of huge salary if he plays out the rest of the season like he has started it.

Newton will still be off to historical offensive production 3 years into a NFL career....

Only thing he doesn't have is wins in the win column. Team sport. His offensive production is still at a historical pace....

That gets overlooked in the national media. They simply focus on the losses.....not why he has so few wins

I think Cam will wait. It wont be made public(or maybe it will), but I don't see him wanting to sign anything long term in such a shaky situation. The smart thing for both sides will be to wait. 

 

I personally think Cam IS the answer at QB, but I'm not sure Gettleman does. JR said Cam would be his last QB so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Cam, I hope, would not be dumb enough to even entertain an extension or anything else until he's a free agent. Let's not forget that he was the victim of the new rookie contract structure and will make more money in his second contract.

 

That being said, the guy wants to win and this team shows little desire to build a winning attitude, a winning tradition and a winning team. Cam is in the driver's seat here, the Panthers have to provide all the reasons for him to stay.

Cam is in his third year of a four year contract with a team option for a fifth year. So that leaves two years on the contract plus at least one year with a franchise tag. The team is sitting on at least another year or two before they really need to get a deal done. I think unless they agree upon a really good deal for the team we wont see a deal done this year.

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.

      @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
