Legit question, does the Saints downfall scare you at all of Cam's upcoming mega deal?

[CarolinaCoolin]

Like I said, we are building the right way. Everyone needs to relax

[Montsta]

Some of you are way too defensive of Cam newton. OP posted a legit and interesting question without even dissing Cam. Some of y'all act like you want to execute anyone that says something that could even be slightly perceived as negative of Cam Newton

I don't think anyone in this thread reacted that way at all. Most are saying they want to wait and see what Cam's deal looks like.

Some also may think it's funny that the OP has been going on and on about how you need to spend money in FA to have a good team, but then worries about the contract we are going to need to give our franchise QB.

It's completely conflicting ideologies.

I honestly don't see Cam demanding 20+ a year. I feel like he loves winning so much that he will accept 16-17 million a year. That's just my prediction though so it probably won't happen.

I am concerned that the high salaries of franchise NFL QB's will really  begin to be  a salary cap problem for all teams that have these quality QB's,ones  that have played out their rookie contracts.

I am confident that Panthers GM Dave Gettleman is aware of the big contracts that are coming up with Cam,Luke,Star,etc,thereby, making allowances by being frugal,in his approach to signing free agents and also attempting to  drafting wisely.

2016: 71 million

2017: 119 million

2018: 151 million

Gettleman knows what he's doing. He's set up the team really nicely for the future. Saints didnt get in that spot because of only Brees, they passed out a bunch of huge contracts and kept restructuring to push money into the future (something they're still doing).

Wow, I had no idea we would be in such fantastic cap shape next season, 71 million?! That's nuts, now I see why Gman isn't spending this year in FA, next year we will have virtually unlimited funds (not really but you get my point)

What the hell did you think was happening when we had Brenton bersin returning punts? Dg be like nah I like to keep this money for fun

[Ken]

This guy has made more OPs in like 1 week than I've made in 3 years. Smh

[PantherWake]

Isnt OP the guy that keeps whining about us not getting big name FAs?

[Car123]

Well we will have to pay a qb big money at some point. Can't just keep drafting qb's and not re-signing.

[CRA]

No. Saints have won a Super Bowl and had a nice run with Brees

[Car123]

Which Panthers will be free agents next year?

[Huffgolf30]

it's nice to have trust in the GM, so you don't have to worry about it.

I must say that after finding out we will have 45 million in cap space next season AFTER we lock up Cam changes my whole perception, we will be able to do anything we want at that point. I'm so use to having piss poor cap room year after year these past few years I didn't realize we are only a year away from all those terrible contracts from 2011 coming off the books
