Carolina Panthers: Get Cam Newton off the fifth-year option. Turn him into a fixed cost over the next five years and determine what money and cap space you have for everything else. He is the franchise. Yes, he needs more weapons around him. But it all starts right here. It's going to cost upward of $20 million a year. Deal with it.

We've seen how well Gettleman drafts. We've seen how he handles veterans with declining skills and marginally talented free agents. We have yet to see how he handles retaining star players. I hope he doesn't screw it up. For all we know, his philosophy might be, "if you get the hogs in the trenches big enough, you can put anybody back there and win and spend more money on defense." I hope that isn't the case. Unless, of course, we win a super bowl that way.

It seems like unwarranted, idiotic, senseless bashing of Cam by the national media might be toning down a bit.

 

 

Its really just a fine line between the media's disdain for Cam and the complete and utter loathing of the small market franchise owned by the most uninteresting(news wise) owner in all of the league.

8 years; 145 million

Cam is worth it. Even when his athleticism fades, he'll still have that cannon for an arm and massive body/frame.

I can live with that contract at 18 a year. The people crying to give him 25 a year are outside of their minds. 18 is fair. Who's his agent though?

    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....  
    • good for him...but bigger is realizing that we are starting to develop talent to the point that when our FA's hit the market, teams ACTUALLY want them.  hasnt been that way in a minute.
