Guesses on Cam's next contract? And, when will he sign it?

My belief is this team's future is heavily depended on Cam Newton's health.  He is going to be up for another contract soon and with his shoulder issues, there are a lot of question marks there.  I'm sure there are other teams in the league that will pay him rather handsomely and we will have to compete with those teams.  In other words, we'll likely have to overpay a QB that is past his prime and is losing one of his primary weapons, his running ability.  

Does anyone think there is any possibility we decide to not continue with Cam Newton and go a different direction?  If not, how much are we willing going to give him?

I think assuming he comes back healthy and has a very good season next year, his next contract will be something like 5 years 130 million, 90 million guaranteed or something like that.  If I was owner / GM I would have to see a full season of a healthy Cam Newton before I invested anything like that into him.  He could be permanently damaged goods for all we know now.

Pretty impossible to know right now. In the first half of last season he was proving he deserves to be a top 8 QB in the league on his next deal. Of course in the second half he had us all wondering if he can ever stay healthy for a full season again. 

If that shoulder holds up this year, we make sure he’s our QB for the next five seasons. If not, he may well be on his way out sadly

If the masses get their way, new HC and GM, Cam won't be signing an extension with the Panthers, regardless of his health.

Interesting point.  If Cam  does not have  a great season, it will be interesting.

Depending on how we finish, Cam's health, and how committed Tepper is to winning, we could end up starting over from scratch in the GM/HC/QB categories. Another year like this last one and we should be seriously considering it.

I'm hoping for a lombardi this year so I'm not going to worry too much about the next year.

At this point, I'm more worried about surviving this year and playing well enough to need a new contract.

This. I'm not even concerned about his next contract right now. I'm concerned about that throwing shoulder. If it recovers and he returns to form then we can worry another that next contract. If it doesn't, then we have a much bigger problem to figure out. I'd MUCH rather have to negotiate a contract than try to find another franchise QB.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
