1. He's grown as a passer -- the numbers back it up, but his mental and physical progression is clear. Not leaps and bounds last year but he's grown from the raw product we saw when he came from Auburn.
2. Cam's cleared two of the benchmarks for NFL quarterbacks: he's been to the playoffs and he has a playoff win. He's the only NFC South quarterback to EVER win back-to-back division titles. 
3. He has no one around him! Kelvin Benjamin helped last year and adding Devin Funchess is big too, but let's not act like Cam is working with a stacked deck.
4. His offensive line has stunk. It's getting better too but he's been a quarterback under fire.
5. He's working in a limited offensive system. Plug him in the Philadelphia Eagles system with Chip Kelly and he's shattering records. 
6. What's the alternative??? This is the biggest one for me: if you DON'T pay Cam, you want to go and try your luck in the draft or in free agency? The top players available were Jameis Winston and Josh McCown. You don't want that life, Mox. 
7. The minimum amount of guaranteed money on the deal is going to be $40 million because Cam's owed $14.5 million for 2015 on his option and would get $25 million(ish) for a 2016 franchise tag.
I bet this ends up looking like a Matt Ryan type deal from the Atlanta Falcons -- his agent has to understand it'll get beat by Philip Rivers and Andrew Luck in the next year so it should be a current top-5 contract.

And Point Four is silly. For whatever you thinl of Shula, the Coryell system is one of the best established offenses in the league. Kelly's using a gimmicky system that wears out his own defense.

​It wins though, and his offense is always near the top even with Mark shitty Sanchez.

​The Coryell system is great. Shula is not.

It hasn't truly won much of anything yet. And there were signs late last season that other teams had caught up to it. We'll see this coming season.

I'd add that records don't mean jack.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
