Huddle question: Do they pay Cam next year?

After the Cutler meltdown and the huge contract he secured, does DG tread carefully with this decision? Cutler's MAIN money is tied into a three year,50 millon plus contract with no signing bonus. The Bears will have a hard time trading him with that contract or cutting him. Kapernick and Dalton have basically one year consecutive deals and make it much easier for a team to get out of.

Cam has stated he does not want that.The three mentioned are not playing their best football. Does DG hold off and try to 'franchise tag' after next year (which he can do twice), or give him the contract he wants? The 'buyers remorse' comment by the Bears OC (and how poorly Cutler has performed), may influence these kind of contracts.

First of all. Cam has not "stated" anything related to contract numbers, so let's just get that out of the way, kthx.

 

Secondly, yes Cutler's contract is uhh not very good, but he's only part of the Bears problems.

 

To me it looks like the coaches have lost the players in Chicago. They have talent there.

Cutler isn't in the same league as Cam.

 

 

The Panthers will pay Cam big guaranteed money. He is the franchise and DG isn't as stupid as some Panther fans.

 

This.

 

For his entire career, Cutler has been known as a turnover machine with a bad attitude.  The Bears saw some promise last year, but and jumped at the chance to keep him.  Now Cam has been criticized for his bad attitude as we all know, but as we've seen,  he's improved, he's matured, and he's more of a leader than Cutler could hope to be.  That being said, we'll pay the man.

Forget about Kap and Dalton. Both were set to make change this year compare to other qbs, so the teams had all the leverage by offering the big payday a year earlier.

Cam is already set as the first pick with the fifth year option.

So Cam is in a position to demand a contract the guarantees he is the starter, as it would cost to much to cut him, even if he had a down year/injury.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
