Cam might get released in offseason

Realistic view.  If Cam gets his surgery... he will likely miss 1-2 seasons.  Means he will be around 32 years old and out of contract with the Panthers.

Cam Newton projected to earn around $45M over next 2 years. Cam Newton contract was built to make him expandable after 2018.  His contract carries only $8.5M in dead money so if Panthers make him post June 1st cut, they can save $18M in cap in both 2019 and 2020. (Cam dead money hit was $30M in 2018).

Now, getting a shoulder surgery for Cam this offseason will be a disaster as he is out of contract in 2 years and will be almost 32 years old.  Surgery this offseason can potentially cost Cam around $100M.  Cam best option will be not to get surgery and try to get a new contract somewhere else with as much guaranteed money as possible.

Nah bro. Getting a healthy Cam Newton is worth investing for. His arm at 100% is probably the biggest cannon in football. He's also the biggest and most in shape QB there is. He'll be able to play for a long time. We just need make sure have the right coaches to keep him sharp.

Shoulder issues are tricky.  He might never been 100% ever again.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
