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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
