We need to extend Allen.

Ahhhh the one thousandth Kyle Allen thread. I haven't caught it all but what we're not talking about enough is his confidence. He acts like a 10 year pro. I agree with the rational posters that the full picture remains to be seen,  but you don't win in this league unless you genuinely believe you belong. KA has that.

Better question is how much can his trade value go up.

On the flipside....

....who would be the better trade option?  Newton?  Allen?

Shipping Herschel Walker was the greatest trades in the history of the NFL and charted a direct path to 3 Super Bowl Championships.

Could a generational future HOF franchise QB like Cam Newton bring a simila,r massive haul of transformational talent into the coffers of The, Carolina Panthers?

Two first round picks for Cam?

I’ve never seen a starting QB as an RFA so he would get swiped so quickly. We have a chance to match but you’d be dumb to take a chance. I’m not saying Allen is all that, but if he’s our Cam replacement we’ll have to start ponying up $$$ in 2022 because any QB that’s good enough would be easy pickings for a cap loaded team in need of a QB. Foles done in Jax, give up a mid to late 1st for a 2 year starting QB. No doubter. 2020 and 2021, he’s cheap and 100% off the market.

Right now the only one I can think, was Romo a RFA? I believe before that Jerry signed him to a multi-year deal. Matt Moore maybe another, I cannt remember what his status was once he replaced Jake. I seem to member a 1st being placed on him. What I dont know if you can bypass all that worry with the tag, exclusive one. There maybe a couple more QBs, but those two are what I know currently.

This is the initial trove Dallas secured from the Vikings:

  • LB Jesse Solomon
  • LB David Howard
  • CB Issiac Holt
  • RB Darrin Nelson
  • DE Alex Stewart
  • Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1990
  • Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1990
  • Minnesota's 6th round pick in 1990
  • Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1991 (conditional on cutting Solomon)
  • Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1991 (conditional on cutting Howard)
  • Minnesota's 1st round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting Holt)
  • Minnesota's 2nd round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting Nelson)
  • Minnesota's 3rd round pick in 1992 (conditional on cutting Stewart)

---------------------

Could Cam bring in a similar haul?

He wasn't bad in NO either. All I'm saying is he needs to be extended. Not given 40 million. With Cam only having a year left on his contract a guy who could be a second choice isn't bad. 

Not going to lie, even if he could go to another team next year we wouldn't get an extension done at this time anyhow. I don't think any agent that is worth his weight in salt would try to talk right now knowing that the deal he would get now would be a hell of a lot lower than the deal he would get later on if he plays really well.

No.  Not even close.

If hypothetically Allen balls out the rest of the season, and Cam doesn't see the field again...

I would be happy if we could get a single first round pick in a trade.  The Hershel Walker trade was when Walker was playing at his absolute best.  Cam hasn't been at his best in a few years now.  No one is going to trade much for a QB north of 30, with a injury history, low recent play time, that hasn't been in top form in 4-5 years.

As others have said he is under his current deal till 2022. Not much negotiating power Right Now.

I know he is, that why I said "Even if he was able to go to another team" . Basically put if he does well we have a good backup QB up until his contract is up or should we decide to trade him.

    • My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

    • His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems. 
    • Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
