Cam saying he WON'T hold out for new deal

[CatMan72]

Yeah, and we have to decide whether or not to exercise it THIS off-season. If they can't reach an agreement on a long-term extension in the next couple months, they'll likely activate the option to be safe. Though, under no circumstance should we actually let him play that fifth year, otherwise he'd be an unrestricted FA.

You can't apply the franchise tag after you've exercised the 5th year option?

He'd get slapped with the exclusive franchise tag after year 5 well before he ever became a UFA. He will get paid either after year 4 or 5, depending on when the cap space allows. I also think Cam understands this & knows he'll get paid when it can be done without crippling the team.

He will get paid when Gettleman is good & ready to pay him. "We're doing this on the Panthers time & nobody else's."

Hardy & Munnerlyn can cry out all they want. Not gonna change anything, there is a new sheriff in town.

Ok, I forgot the franchise tag, though a long-term deal would still be better for both sides.

Yeah, I don't think the franchise tag will be used on Cam. lol

[TheRed]

Letting him start the 2014 season without a new contract is the absolute last thing Gettleman wants. We will get something done soon.

[Keep Steve]

I wonder where he would go if the Panthers lost him? He would probably like to play for Atlanta.

Cam might end up playing under the 5th year club option while we get our finances in order, so we don't have to let valuable assets like Hardy walk.

Lol you're crazy. Cam is smart. He wants weapons, if the team doesn't start building around him he won't be here. Of course he isn't seeking a new deal here. He's going to let things play out and see what the team is looking like.

[Evengelion]

Looks like Cam is in no hurry to sign a long term deal and wants to experience free agency. Or at least he wants to see how this upcoming draftees turn out before he sign long term. If our 28th pick don't pan out next year and we didn't not sign any respectable free agents we'd be even worse of. Imagine Cam starting the 2015 season with a 36 y old Smith is his primary target. Guarantee Cam think about that.

I can't think of a single QB who would actually hold out for a new deal. QBs just don't do that. That's a RB and DB thing to me.

[El Chingon]

He's still under contract, it would look terrible for him if he did holdout. 

[Porn Shop Clerk]

this just means he doesn't want to stay here!

If they can get him on the cheap for one more year it would go a long way in the team's ability to build around him.

Cam has said literally nothing to imply that he wants to be a free agent and try free agency.

Except this one.
