Panthers and Cam Newton in contract talks

Cap is going to continue to rise more and more every year. That helps at least. We just need Gettleman to continue drafting well so that when players are due to get paid here, we have capable depth and players waiting in the wings to take their place so it is easier to negotiate and easier to let them go as a viable replacement piece is already on the roster. The single most important factor in handing this money to Cam is drafting well every year and keeping him upright.

There has been some recent talk that Seattle may be willing to offer Wilson the NFL's first fully guaranteed contract. They feel that thay can get a lower overall contract and save cap space. Wilson recently changed his agent to one who represents mostly baseball players where guaranteed contracts are standard. Apparently Seattle feels that the only downside would be if he were lost to a career ending injury, which is less llikely for QBs than other positions. Other GMs are really going to be pissed if this occurs and it will really throw a curve into Gman's negotiations with Cam.

Indeed.

So then why are you complaining?

We have holes that need to be filled via F/A before the draft. I'd prefer to not shop at the dollar store for the next 6 years. Don't forget we need to give Olsen, Keeks and possibly Hardy contracts. Don't forget about Norman either. Edited by Dex

This is the part I find disheartening

"Then, sources say, if the Panthers’ offer meets Newton’s expectations, he is interested in remaining with Carolina for the long-term."

I mean I am a businessman and am not naive, but this thing could get ugly if Cam's camp wants it to.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
