As has already been said. Drafting studs year in year out will be key unless of course Newton makes a very significant improvement in his play next season.

 

ATL has given Ryan a big contract but still have a lot of cap space. They were also able to spend a lot last off season. They're problems seem to be bad drafting.

 

On the other hand, the Saints are 20mil over the cap with big money due for Brees and can't afford any major upgrades this offseason.

 

So there are examples to both sides, unfortunately the common denominator is that both those teams are not doing well since those big money contracts. I will contend that if ATL had stud players like Luke and Olsen etc, then that cap space they have may not be that big.

Well, it's rumored that the Cawks might offer Wilson a 100% guaranteed contract a la baseball type deals. If this happens then It's a whole new ballgame.

 

Yeah I heard about that but I don't see it happening. He'll get a lot guaranteed, but not fully. Fully guaranteed for a QB as small as him who runs a lot would be absolutely fuging outrageous. One injury, and bam your team's done. Even if he were to get that I couldn't see Gettleman offering Cam 70 million guaranteed. He's not a guy to just throw out guaranteed money to a player who's not quite elite yet.

He posted on Instagram today too! Needless to say today has been a rollercoaster ride.

He's like a sniper, just waiting to poop on your opinion. Then he disappears like a fart in the wind, leaving me to feel like a dude with a tiny penis left lying naked and unconscious in the middle of a mall food court at lunchtime.

Our ace in the hole is JR. JR loves him some Cam. I think he'd intervene if it came to Cam bolting.

Agreed. When Cam was drafted I recall JR saying Cam would be the last QB drafted while he was still alive. Cam has done everything JR has expected. He's gonna get paid. JR owns the team, Gettleman works for him.

If I was the consensus leader and franchise quarterback of the team, already a millionaire and beloved by fans AND wanted to win a superbowl? You're absolutely right. But hey I'm old fashioned.

I wouldn't. Give me more. If I'm playing a game that could cause me to die young, be wheel chair bound, or to shart on national TV, I want the dollars. I don't care if the Panthwrs have the best Uni's and worst home field advantage, I want them dolla's.

No way. He is gonna be in at least the same range as these guys: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/sports/7-nfl-quarterbacks-who-are-really-making-the-most-money.html/?a=viewall

Being that he is young, up and coming, and basically better than Kaepernick, his contract---that is his guarantees---could easily be more.

 

22-24 per year with 40-50 of it guaranteed would be above those guys...

He'd have more guaranteed than those guys except for Rodgers and would be making the most per year of anybody. I don't know what Luck and Wilson will get, but I guarantee you if G-man straight up offered 6 years $135M with $45M guaranteed today, he and his party would accept it, because it would be the best contract of any QB in the league (until Luck/Wilson sign). I don't know what the fug that article is talking about with Kaepernick's guaranteed because he has basically nothing guaranteed and if he's not an All-Pro or NFC Champion his salary goes down every year, and they can cut him any year after the first two without having to pay him another dime.

And that's the difference between the love of the game and the money

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
