Huddle question: Do they pay Cam next year?

[Jmac]

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.

[The Huddler]

yes

[The Huddler]

if this franchise was smart they would prioritize Cam and truly build around them. Players, scheme, everything.

If we dont someone else will and will be very sucessful in doing so. Mark my words

6 years 100 million, only 40 of it guaranteed and I can live with it. As long as the guaranteed money is spread over the next 3 years.

[TheRed]

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.

[Cary Kollins]

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.

[mbarbour21]

Yes, I agree with the huddled. If we let him go we will be watching his team succeed and realize it could've been us. Lock him up quick!

6 more years of superman!!

[camycamcan]

Then in the back of your head your thinking about Lukes contract the year after

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.

[Thorrez]

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.

Pay him, and then find a way to surround him with the same receiving talent Cutler has in Chicago.
