Excerpts...

The first pick of the 2011 NFL draft wants to be a big part of the Charlotte community long-term just as badly as he wants to be a long-term part of the Panthers. That's why he didn't want to talk about the team officially exercising the fifth-year option on his contract on the same day he was promoting his school pride program.

He considers his commitment to being at Carolina for well beyond the 2015 season that the option guarantees just as much a given as his commitment to being an example for kids to get their education.

Newton has made no secret that he wants his relationship with the team and the city to be more than a pitstop on his way to something else. Those close to the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner say the fifth-year option, which guarantees Newton $14.67 million in 2015, won't ever come into play because the team will sign him to a long-term deal before that year is activated.

And here I thought Cam hated playing here, hated the way the team was run, hated the city, hated the fans and couldn't wait till his contract was up to get out of here.

(at least that's what some folks on this board keep telling me)

"Some folks" being like literally one guy?

was this the same guy that was obsessed with Bob Johnson?

 

I don't recall him saying all of that, KT had his moments, but there was truth to some of what he said.

 

Oh it's been more than one guy.

 

I'm sure you could count them on one hand.

 

On the flip side, how about the reactionaries who were ready to trade him just back in October?

The phrase "I won't blame Cam a bit when he leaves" has been quoted on here numerous times.

 

You should probably add context to that, but again, very low in numbers.

 

To go further on that comment, those who share that view are going to an extreme, but their frustration has been set in our organizations inability to adequately build around him on his side of the football. One offensive starter drafted since 2011, a WR corps gutted in a contract year.

 

What exactly is your point with this anyway?

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
