Gettleman speaks......finally

[iamhubby1]

Or how about. 20 years for 110mil dollars for Cam. Cam gets his poo ton of moneyz. Cam gets to retire a Panther. We can build around that contract. We could spread that moneyz out foreverz.

[dos poptarts]

You can keep dreaming about that. He and his agent will and should go for the max because the CBA screwed his class and the following rookies. Cam made almost 50 million dollar less than Sam Bradford in his first years, and you think that his agent will play nice. 

 

The agents/players (CBA) could take the view that the teams got extremely cheap wages for their labor for years. Now it's time to pay up and make up for those years. Agents should pitch it as NFL Teams now get to dump a rookie player with no long term CAP damage, but top performing players will recoup their "deferred" wages.

 

I would not be surprised at all if Cam's, Kap's, Dalton's, Wilson/Luck (next year) next contract meets or exceeds Brees, Brady, Rodgers, Flacco, & Ryan. The new crop of QBs have not been allowed to get new deals even with carrying their respective teams to the playoffs, NFC Champtionships, & Superbowls.

 

The 2011 Rookies impending contracts probably shouldn't be compared to pre-CBA contracts at all.

Cam at $20 million is a heck of a lot better deal than Hardy or Johnson at $13m.

 

Definitely.18-23 could be the range?

 

I like that the 5th year option is on the table. This is Kap's last year before an extension or tag and whatever they get him on should be the base for Cam's market.

 

The whole "CBA screwed players" is just a weird topic. I get it; but the way talking heads frame it is like teams are on the hook for back pay. Suddenly Cam's suppose to get 30M/yr or something? Come on now, that cripples a team's cap (especially ours). Kap got more screwed than Cam (22M vs 5M). And I get that Kap is surrounded by monster talent, but it has to affect Cam's market regardless.

Niners GM says they want Kaepernick's extension done before camp.

again, the question is what makes him ready to be the leader? what is that based on? is this based on SS being gone?

it is just potential to lead. the way is clear if he can step in. G-man is the best blocker Cam has.

Cam at 20 mil is not better at all.that just keeps us in this perpetual bargain hunting mode year after year.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Sounds like Godfrey is all but gone too

[Navy_football]

Cam is getting paid regardless of how he performs this year. Delaying it another year won't effect that, but it will save the team another year of cap. Allowing Getts some relief from our RB contracts, ridiculous dead money hits, and very possibly CJs contract.

 

Godfrey getting cut is a forgone conclusion unless he flat out takes a paycut - no restructures here.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I wondered if they were gonna try and keep Godfrey since Mitchell left

[Gabeking]

Do I really need to link your threads?

It was tongue in cheek anyway. Hugs and kisses.

You love my glorious threads don't lie

Wish he'd disclose where his waistline is and how many fugs he does not give about tucking his tits into his waistband.

Boss

Wouldn't pay him until next season anyway. It's an extension, not a new deal, so this year's amount stays the same whether we pay him today or next off-season.

If you give him an extension, which includes a signing bonus then you have to pay him the prorated share of the signing bonus for this year but his salary for this year.  As a result most teams renegotiate the contract to give him the signing bonus but reduce his cap hit this year by giving him much less salary since he just got a huge signing bonus.  That is essentially an extension but also a restructure.  If you extend him without a signing bonus then you don't incur any more costs but who is going to sign that??

From what I have read it does not appear that he has an option for a 5th year.
