Yup. It’s why when I saw we signed shaq my first thought was damn that might be it for Luke. We had a window with Cam and Luke. We almost won a super bowl with them. If you look at talented core’s around the league they usually have a window of about 2 maybe 3 years to win it all before everything resets due to cap, age, coaching, etc.
we wasted HOF talent because this organization couldn’t find good coaching or general managers to match with them. It fuging sucks.
So we're going to save 18 million dollars on Cam, but spend 16 million dollars on Shaq Thompson
No matter how hurt Cam is, in which reality is Shaq Thompson worth 89% as much money as Cam Newton
Sounds like an opinion piece.
however on one hand, based on Teppers comments about letting RR go early So everyone knows the Panthers are in the hunt for a HC gives transparency to the NFL. This at least ensures we don’t miss out on interviewing anyone. In Cams situation, it gives all teams interested in Cams services enough time to put together a package to trade for him.
on the other hand, if you weren’t planning to trade Cam, how is he supposed to react going into the season in a contract year? *spoiler* he would hold out.
