Frank Garcia thinks 6 years 150 million for Cam

[Frank Hollywood]

Would much rather see a higher guaranteed number than a higher cap hit.

5 years 90 million, fully guaranteed. No?

[teeray]

Not that far fetched

[Mr. Scot]

Because every QB that signs a new contract resets the market.

 

Also true at other positions, and a pet peeve of mine.

 

In the NFL, it's all to often not who played the best.  It's who got their contract last.

 

Tony Romo absolutely made more money than guys who were better than him because his contract came later, not because he'd earned it.

fug it i'll throw my guess out there too.  6 yr $135 million $72 million guaranteed.

Truthfully anything more than 4 years doesn't matter. It'll be renegotiated with two year left so it'll probably be majorly backloaded with big guaranteed money.

So in gonna say that's prob right but it'll be 6 years 150 million with 70 million guaranteed and it'll be renegotiated after 4 years. But cam will get 70 mil for sure and a bunch of the guaranteed money up front.

Garcia is an idiot. He doesn't have a clue on ANY subject he speaks. 

 

You are talking about the same buffoon who got shook down by an "IRS agent" and had to leave in the middle of his show to go make cash drops throughout the city because he thought he was going to get taken to jail for not paying his taxes.

Decent guess I think. Especially with the soon to be rising cap.

Why is that ad attached to my post. For the record, rotopop is funded by Isis, people are dying.

Cam could point out that for most of his career in Charlotte he has had mediocre receivers and average to horrible linemen.

If his agent is worth a damn that will be one of the first counter points made.

But it's not really going to change much. It's all posturing, the agent will go in knowing roughly what his client could get on the open market then tack on 20% or more just as a starting point. Let the G-man come back with a turd offer and then the coming together begins.

[Fidel Cashflow]

sounds about right.

[pantherphan96]

I'm just worried about how we can lock up other important players after Cam and Luke make $$$$$

[pantherphan96]

Feel like a few key contributors are gonna get lost to the highest bidder. Thinking its Norman and Star/Short.

We get 3 more years of a cheap Star and two more at least of an even cheaper Short. He's not the GeniusMan for nothing. No worries mate.

[AU-panther]

We'll look back in hindsight and realize that the biggest mistake Gettleman made was not locking Cam up long-term at the earliest opportunity. Waiting and letting him play under the 5th year option is going to cost us tens of millions in cap space long-term.

Depends

For all we know Cam might have wanted 130 million last year. An extra 10 million two years later on a contract that large isn't that bad considering you had 2 extra years with low commitment. There is always a chance a player gets hurt or regresses.

Now if Cam would have signed for $96m/6yrs last year then yes we could end up regretting the decision to wait.

If I'm not mistaken Flacco signed for around $20m a year a few years ago. I've always thought Cam would ask for around $21-$23 m a year, which would put the total in the $125-140m range.

I seriously doubt Tannehill's contract has any influence on what Cam is expecting.
