Colin Kaepernick's unusual deal with the San Francisco 49ers continues to have reverberations across the NFL landscape. That includes the Cam Newton camp.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday on NFL Total Access that Kaepernick's contract -- a pact that includes just $13 million in guaranteed money -- "really scares people who know Cam Newton very well."

The structure of Kaepernick's deal essentially allows the Niners to evaluate the quarterback on a year-to-year basis. There is a fear in Newton's circle that Kaepernick's deal is a sign of things to come in how teams do business with franchise quarterbacks.

According to Rapoport, guaranteed money is what counts for Newton, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal with the Carolina Panthers. Newton wants a contract that will provide more guaranteed money and a higher yearly salary than Kaepernick received.

Talks between the Panthers and Newton have yet to begin. According to Rapoport, Newton's people are simply waiting for the Panthers to start a dialogue.

You can safely assume that the agents for Newton and Andy Dalton won't be breaking bread with Kaepernick's people any time soon.

Figured as much,  I've been saying for a while that he will be the highest paid player in NFL history when he gets his contract. 

 

 

I've tossed out the contract values before but look at something along these lines for Cam. 

 

6 years-141 million - 65-70 guaranteed. 

 

 

 

 

He's going to get it too. lol

no need to contact them now. it's not really a pressing matter. they got the fifth year extension for a reason...they don't want to deal with it right now and they won't. maybe during the season they might start, but right now there's not really a need so no....not really interesting.

I think Cam and his agent give Gman a big middle finger if our Oline/WRs don't add up this season and his production suffers because of it,   and Gman tries to use that dropoff as a way to severely lowball Cam.

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
