2011 Draft Class - Will everyone wait on Cam's contract?

Recommended Posts

Since teams can start negotiating....is the rest of the NFL waiting on Cam to ink a deal to set the price as the first pick of the 2011 draft and set the QB pay scale? (other than Kap, is any other QB getting a new contract? Dalton?)

 

I haven't heard any news on non-QB contracts whose contracts aren't as dependent on Cams. (not going to list everyone, just these guys should be expecting big $$)

DEs: JJ Watt, Von Miller, Aldon Smith, Quinn.

WR: AJ Green, Julio Jones

DBs: Peterson

OT: Solder, Carpenter

I don't know but I will say it again. If the Panthers, 49ers, Seahawks, Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins, Eagles wait until the Colts and Luck finish theirs...

 

The market value of NFL QBs will be 22 million without question.

 

Luck is going to ask the Colts for a contract north of 25 million/year and god help us all if the Colts give it to him.

If he wins a SB, of course.

Considering all these guys contract expires a year before Luck's, won't have any effect on all the guys drafted a year before him.

But there are only 4-5 weeks left to decide if the team is going to exercise the 5th year option.

Of course they will exercise the option which must be decided by May 3rd. Right now the tag for quarterbacks is 14 million and even if it increases by 4 or 5 million it won't be more than we will paying him.

The only downside is that if we exercise the option, it will guarantee the money for injury and if he is on the roaster at the beginning of the 5th year, the money will be fully guaranteed.  With his injury history even with the surgery it sounds like a good bet with little downside..

The Panthers, 49ers, and Bengals could all wait until next off season to extend. The Colts are able to begin negotiations with Luck next off season. Which means Luck could get an extension prior to Newton, Kaepernick, and Dalton.

 

And the rest were drafted the same year as Luck.

I remember hearing about how weak that draft class was at the time. Well... 12 of the first 16 picks have made at least one Pro Bowl; one of those that hasn't yet is Nick Fairley, who is no scrub. The other three? Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder.

 

Notable later picks include Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Kyle Rudolph, and Richard Sherman.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
