Cam haters, what could we realistically get in a trade for Cam?

This is a question for the people who have suggested we think about trading him. I would never trade him because he is my favorite player in the NFL and the reason I root for the Panthers. But lets say if we shock the league and put him on the trade block what would he fetch and what teams would be interested?

I could easily see the Giants/Jaguars/Bengals being at the top of this list as those are teams who have a playoff roster and could use a franchise QB like Cam Newton. I think those 3 teams would easily give up 2 1st round picks and possibly more for a 29 year old QB.

 

Cam bashers what you think?

I'm not in favor of trading Newton, but there are two things I think we have to admit.

1) With a new owner, likely a new coach and possibly a new GM next season, his being traded is an actual possibility.

2) Even if he isn't traded next season, Tepper may not be willing to break the bank for his next contract.

There is the real possibility that next season's Panthers will be run by a group of leaders who have no ties to Newton's drafting or his previous career here. The notion that they may want "their own guy" is not out of the question.

Me? I wouldn't trade him. If I did, I'd be looking at something like the Herschel Walker trade as a template.

The more likely scenario for parting ways with Newton though comes when his contract is up. Tepper's Steeler background makes it less likely he'll spend crazy money on any position, quarterback included. if Newton and his agent are looking for a record contract, Tepper might not be willing to oblige.

Sorry folks, but much as it sucks to admit, whether we want it or not, yeah it could happen.

Sure, all that is possible. Just like it’s possible I find an envelop full of cash in the parking lot on my way to work.

Tepper wants to win. Trading away m/moving on from your franchise quarterback while he is right smack dab in the middle of his prime hasn’t exactly proven to be a recipe for winning.

Cam is more than value on the field. He is marketing and brings a ton of value off the field and on the business side

Yeah I agree, he is box office. He has hype surrounding him, that along is worth 2 1st round picks. Then his on field value is worth a couple of more picks or possibly a good player.

I typically don't ask dumb people and/or racists to expound on their thoughts. 

It wouldn't be fun if we didn't make them feel part of the discussion. These is like an early Christmas gift for them, lets let them have fun in this pipedream thread.lol

Technically, the Broncos won a Super Bowl after parting ways with Jay Cutler.

The wild card here is Newton's shoulder. If it turns out to have significant damage by the end of this season, the concept of parting ways with him becomes very real.

I don't really believe that will happen though.

Now, Tepper being unwilling to shell out a huge contract when Newton's current deal ends? That, I think, is a very realistic scenario.

I think that second part only manifests itself IF Newton’s shoulder is indeed injured beyond repair and something he’ll just have to deal with/manage moving forward.

The wildcard is the way the NFL is now. If Tepper is as “analytical” as he says he is and teams continue to prove they can have immediate success with QBs on rookie deals then yeah there is probably a case to be made.

All still seems very unlikely, at least for right now.

The Steelers don't have to break the bank because they draft well enough that few players have any leverage against them.

So if, sometime in the next two years, we use a high draft pick on a quarterback, might be a reason.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
