Will Cam want to renegotiate his contract after another MVP season?

I really do wonder about this, especially given Luck's new contract. If he has another MVP or near-MVP season or 2, is there any chance that he plays out the full 5 years of his contract as currently written? What say you, Huddle?

I doubt it. I have a feeling he understands that having a team around him is more important than a couple of extra million. Cam is already the highest paid endorser in the NFL.Having the best team will keep him at the top which will send more money his way.

Thats some super optimistic stuff right here. Kinda how Josh Norman would take a few million dollar paycut to stay here right. I don't think we have too many players who would give back to the team. Look at the top super stars and tell me who takes a paycut to improve the team. Tom Brady is the only one I can think of who does take a paycut to improve the team. I'd say 95% of players in the league strictly look after themselves and the other 5% actually would take a paycut to help out the rest of the team. It would be awesome if Cam fell in that 5%.

I believe I read it somewhere a couple months back that the panthers have already agreed to revisit his contract after this season.

The point of my post was that he wasn't in fact taking a paycut. By having an elite team around him, that helps him stay at the top where the endorsement money is. So he's not really taking a paycut. Otherwise, he takes a bigger contract and makes more money, but has a worse team, and the endorsement money isn't there as much because of that. It's a tradeoff and one that seems to be a smarter decision than the other. I'm sure that has to be in his mind or the mind of his agent.

I think Cam understands that not wringing every dollar from the Panthers greatly benefits him in the long run. The man deserves to be paid of course, but I don't see him going full Brees.

I can guarantee you he doesn't.

They will get a new contract done three years into this deal, as it both makes sense for the Panthers (they can tuck on 2-3 years) and Cam (he gets an increase and more importantly a new chunk of guaranteed money). 

Just like every other team with a top 15 qb.

Thing is also, it does not necessarily benefits Cam long term to renegotiate already next of season with both the cap and qb market rising every year.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
