Alright, bear with me here. I'm not one to make stupid threads but I think this is something seriously in question. Gettleman has yet to put any decent faces in on the OL since he's been here. Newton is constantly getting beat up and doesn't have many weapons around him when he does have time. Gettleman doesn't seem to be too generous with the money and is probably going to try to get Newton on a bargain coming off a bad season. So, question is, does this affect Newton's contract signing? What do you guys think?

It's almost as if DG is trying to sabotage Cam's career. If i was Cam, I'd never sign another contract to play for DG. Starting the season with Bell and Chandler as the starting Tackles(and seeming totally fine with it) is beyond moronic.

Gman is worrying me. I like a lot of what he's done but the rest is just plain fugin scary.

He made his feelings known about Cam since his first day here.

Cam was lucky we had a winning season last year. I'm a huge criticizer of Cam, but def worry about his future here in Carolina. This is not what you want in a 4th year QB; esp a no1 pick.

Seriously? He played college football at Auburn and grew up in Georgia. Get the fug out of here. That's not even what's in question

 

A significant percentage of the 'fanbase' questions rather or not the guy can read a defense. The FO has put him behind Byron Bell and Nate Chandler. They released the best WR in team history. It is a credible to his abilities that the WR core has been as effective as it has been. I wouldn't blame Cam if he left.

If I'm his agent, there are no contract discussions until there is a legit effort to protect him. I'm telling Gettleman you have two years to protect my guy. He'll play under the option next year and then you can franchise him for a year after that. Good luck fitting a 2nd tag under the cap and that's what you'll have to do to rent him for another year if you don't protect him.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
