Cam on the cover of ESPN the Mag


The Golden Child

Recommended Posts

The article also addresses Newton’s aloofness at the Panthers’ facility, claiming he lifted weights by himself in a separate room his first two years. According to the ESPN the Magazine piece, linebacker Thomas Davis approached Newton in the room during voluntary workouts last spring, and – within earshot of teammates – asked if he was going to lift with them.

That's actually really interesting. Does the article cite the source of that Davis comment by chance?

Disingenuous...of course that would be the stance in ESPN the Rag.

 

Now that I think about it, this could line up with the incident in the preseason when TD came over to Cam when he was posing for the camera and told him to knock it off.  TD no like Cam??

    • Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.
    • At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves? 
    • I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
