6 years, $150,250,000, $54,000,000 guaranteed, Projected contract for Cam

[SuperJTheGreat]

How does this, in any way, reflect fandom? If anything, it proves that people here aren't just fans of Cam, but fans of the team, and are willing to have an objective view on it.

Yea get rid of the Franchise Qb okay

[carolina-chuck]

Nice knowing you Cam.

If it comes down to cash-strapping the team, is the context of this conversation, not people just telling Cam to leave.

Sounds to me like you're a Cam fan and not a Panthers fan.

[carolina-chuck]

Flacco got a six-year, $120.6 million contract with $52 million guaranteed

So $20 million/year for Flacco. Is Cam worth an extra $5 million/year over Flacco?

Doesn't seem that far-fetched

This!

And, that was after Flacco won a SB.

[O-Ther]

Here's some numbers before the cliff-jumping begins

 

$19 million=dead money we have on the books this year for players no longer on the team

$13 million=Hardy's contract, pretty sure he's not gonna be back next year

-$4 million we'll still be on the hook for Smitty's contract in 2015

 

so $28 million will be freed up next year

 

add that Cam's already scheduled to make $14 million in 2015, and you realize that Gettleman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hurney

 

 

Edit: Other player's salaries will go up in 2015, so they will chew into that $28 million, too, so a couple more re-negotiations or cuts will prolly need to be made, but it's now realistic to see that we can keep both Cam and Luke without killing the salary cap and crippling the roster.

Using that logic, this contract is 40m more base, with the same guaranteed, as Aaron Rodgers.

Is Cam worth 40m more than Aaron Rodgers?

had Cam's contact been in 2013, no. But the salary cap and QB contacts have gone up. However, it worth nothing that Rodgers got his contact two months after Flacco got his, and Rodgers got a little less per year than Flacco... lol, Rodger's agent sucks

[Rockahype]

Yeah with Cam gone we could tear out seats and build a pool to attract fans...maybe even give out free tickets to our home opener...that'd be neat.

I understand the concerns you have about a contract that big strapping the team's salary cap, but considering how productive he is and what a rare talent he plus the recent contracts of other QBs (Flaco, Kapernick, Dalton), I'm not surprised by this estimate.  I don't think he'll sign some thing this big, but its obvious that its gonna take something bigger than the other three QBs mentioned to sign him long term.

[Ruff]

Kaep's contract is what is going to fug us.

Also, people tend to forget Cam's agent is Bus Cook. Lol. He's going to get every single dollar he can.

Nope, you don't let the franchise QB walk under any circumstances. No way to defend that either.

This writer strait up ripped from the spotrac article i started the thread on last week or so

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Also, people tend to forget Cam has an agent. Lol. It's every agents job to get every single dollar he can.

FIFY

[csx]

He isnt going anywhere.

[Ruff]

FIFY

Some agents are more notorious than others for it. Bus Cook is one of those.
