Think Cutler's contract not Kaepernick's for Newton


Recommended Posts

“I’m sure the Carolina Panthers will go, ‘Hey, we’ll give you Kaepernick’s structure,’ ” said Joel Corry, a former NFL agent. “But (Newton’s agent) Bus Cook is not going to be too receptive to that.”
 
Newton, selected No. 1 overall in the 2011 draft in which Kaepernick was picked in the second round, is entering the fourth year of his rookie deal. In April, the Panthers picked up the club option on Newton for 2015 at $14.67 million.
 
But with such a prohibitive salary cap number for Newton for 2015, Corry believes the Panthers will lock up their franchise quarterback with a long-term deal before the start of the league year next March.
 
And Corry, who writes about NFL contracts and the salary cap for CBS Sports and the National Football Post, thinks it will be Jay Cutler’s contract – more so than Kaepernick’s – that Newton’s side will bring to the table.

Cutler, 31, the 11th overall pick in 2006, didn’t receive a signing bonus from the Bears. But the first three years of the deal are guaranteed for $54 million – an average of $18 million a year that Corry believes Newton will command.
 
“I think $18 million (a year) gets you in the game for Cam, with $50 million in guarantees,” Corry said.

 

 

 
7 years at 18M for Cutler. I have always said 5x19 but 7x18 with a similar guarantee sounds right.  A true guarantee not a Kaepernick "we can cut you anytime" guarantee. Hopefully.

I don't know the structure, all I know is when Cam gets his new contract, ESPN will be talking about him being one of the highest paid players ever in the NFL. Thats a guarantee.

I haven't been watching any ESPN or NFLN to know what they are saying about the CK deal, but when Cam gets his I'm sure they will be saying something like "well now he has to prove himself."

I can see it now:

 

 

 

" Now let's see the leadership..."

 

" We just need to see him mature..."

I don't think $18 million per year will get it done. He's already set to make nearly $15 million on the fifth year option.

18 or 20 or even 23 are just numbers.  You can make the numbers whatever you want but what matters is what is guaranteed.  Players take contracts because they get 50 million guaranteed which assures they will never be hurting for money the rest of their lives.  Kaepernick's deal doesn't give him much security and I suspect he will see less than 70% of it.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
