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

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
