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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
