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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
