This team has gotten rid of the 4 closest people to Cam on the team. Joe Webb, Leonard Johnson, Philly Brown, and now Kelvin Benjamin. It also doesn't help with how close he is with Ryan Kalil and him not being out there.

I know many of you are going to say it shouldn't matter, and this franchise should not be building the team to appease Cam. You are half right. Cam is a different type of guy. He beats to his own drumb and only lets a certain few into his close circle. You can see him clearly struggling with the media and the way he has handled himself this year.

Usually people blame it on losing, but the team is 5-3. I believe not having Webb there, not having Philly there, not being able to go home and hang out with Leonard is really taking a toll on him. I am nervous it's only going to get worse with the Benjamin trade.

This franchise has never prioritized helping Cam out. The year he was drafted, they drafted one offensive player, Lee Zeimba. They always just hoped his raw talent would take over. Just this past Sunday Cam went on and on about how great Benjamin is how much he loves having him on his team. Then just 3 days later they send Benjamin packing for draft picks.

You can all scream and yell and tell me how this makes the offense better. I do not necessarily believe it, but at the same time I cannot tell you that you're wrong. I am more concerned that we are going to see a huge dip in Cams production and demeanor from here on out.

Cam isn’t in the long term plans for the team anymore. He will be gone after his contact is up, if not sooner.

I don't agree with this or believe this, but if this is true then the Carolina Panthers are single most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL.

Browns

But I agree. If Cam doesn’t finish his career here, something is seriously wrong.

Yep that’s the real back breaker in this trade.

Pissing Cam off or taking away his best friend on the team isn’t worth any amount of draft picks.

A checked out Cam will cripple this team 

He’s gonna need to nut up. Not saying that’s right or fair just the reality of the situation.

I hear you but do you think that’s going to happen?

These guys are humans too and Cam continues to watch as this organization does everything in its power to handcuff him.

Wrong or right I just don’t see how he hasn’t said “f*ck this” yet

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
