Will Cam jump ship when contract is up?

Moving into the 2018 season and just two years away from 2020. Cam has taken an ass beating both on and off the field. He has been dealt a lousy hand with the offensive receiving corp and a subpar O.C. Do you feel that he will stay or decide to move on regardless of $$$ offered or how this team may perform until then with new ownership. Opinions please....

Depends on how the team plays in the next two years, if we are contenders each year I think he sticks around.  He really does value winning over how much he gets 'beat up'.  All he wants to do is win.  If we are competitive each year I feel like he'd re-sign, but he will want to get paid big bucks as expected for being a majority of our offense the last 9 years.

Cam will be 31 when he becomes an UFA. He could be franchised for a year, if he has anything left, for a reasonable amount of money, then the team lets him walk at 32. Based on his style of play, it would probably be the best time for the team to part ways. He hasn't shown to be the type of quarterback who will be a league leader worthy of a huge contract if can't play with physicality.

When he's 32 years old, I doubt he'll have that. We should enjoy him until then.

Cam should retire when his contract is up. As much as we all love him, he doesnt seem to have the skills to last and be successful as age takes away slowly the gifts and abilities that make so many around here hang on his nuts. He cant take those hits much longer. He cant keep running like he has into his mid 30's. Regardless of how he plays and our record until his contract is up doesnt matter. He has not shown an ability to grow as a passer and have the same longevity as well...so many of the other "older" Qb's.

I think Cam's fate will depend on who the GM is at the time the new contract negotiations begin.   If it's Hurney Cam will get the highest contract for any player ever at that time.   A new GM? Anything from an extension to a trade is on the table.

This is his first year with a QB coach not named Mike Shula. Norv was hired to develop Cam into a more polished passer and develop a more efficient offense. Shula's offensive design did not protect Cam in any way. Lets see how his development plays out the next two years with some different style of teaching before slamming the door.

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
