Cam not worried about his next contract.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton says he is not "terrified'' that the contract San Francisco 49ers counterpart Colin Kaepernick received will impact his next one.

"I'm not terrified of anything,'' Newton said Wednesday.

 

Kaepernick signed a six-year deal worth $110 million earlier this month with the 49ers. The contract reportedly included a record $61 million in injury guarantees.The Panthers have the rights to Newton through the 2015 season, but they've expressed an interest in signing their franchise quarterback to a long-term deal. Negotiations have not begun.

On Tuesday, the NFL Network reported that people close to Newton are terrified that Kaepernick's deal might set a standard for the Panthers to use in their dealings with the QB. Specifically, the report said Newton would want much more than the $13 million in guaranteed money Kaepernick received up front.

"For me, that's the last thing on my mind,'' Newton said. "The first thing is trying to get little anky right. I'm not worried about no money. I'm not worried about things I can't control.''

Newton underwent surgery to tighten the ligaments in his left ankle in March. He was expected to be out until training camp, but he hasn't ruled out participating in next week's mandatory minicamp.

I thought I should post this since the other thread about Cam's next deal is pure speculation by some reporter.

Of course it was speculation.      Cam shouldn't be worried in anyway about his contract....  he knows that he will get paid a kings ransom,  whether it be with us or someone else.    The guy is worth it and if we see how special he is,  you can bet your ass that him and his agent can see how special he is.

weird word for sure, I can see using 'terrified' talking about injury (can't play scared) but about his contract? must have been a stupid question

or a stupid interpretation.   another indirect shot at Cam if you ask me making him seem greedy.  and as i was trolling NFL website, low and behold this gem of an article title:
