Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is expected to sign a new five-year contract worth more than $100 million as soon as Monday afternoon. But determining the true value of the deal takes more than dividing 100 by five to get 20 per season.

Guaranteed money is the most important layer of a contract, and because of how some agents use some in the media, figuring out what’s FULLY guaranteed is key.

For example, when Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill signed a new deal last month, some reports put his guarantees at $45 million. But more accurately, Tannehill received $21.5 million fully guaranteed at signing.

According to league sources, the sense is Newton’s new deal will include a fully guaranteed figure north of $40 million. Here are some numbers to put that in context:

if its between 40 and 50 million guaranteed i think we got a very, very good deal.

Based on Voth's breakdown, 45 million seems logical.

And I expect most on here will be happy with that...until Luck and Wilson get bigger deals. At that point, certain people will go ape s--t.

Also do they leave his current salary intact which is 15 million. The additional cap hit of a signing bonus would be this year but it could make the back end even worse.

​Its considered an extension.  This year could actually see some cap benefits if structured a certain way.

I'm curious to see if it's an extension or a completely new contract. Extension probably means his cap hit this year doesn't change (unless they convert some to signing bonus). New contract probably changes his salary this year as part of the deal.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
