A healthy Cam or CMC who do you resign?

After much thought...I think this is the crux of the issue. If Cam is healthy and we want to retain him hes gonna cost us a ton of jack. CMC who in my mind is the best player in the game is going to command the richest salary of any RB in history. I feel we can only afford to retain one of them. That is, if you consider the percentage of cap space signing both will eat up.

I think you've gotta go McCaffrey here.

If there is anything that this Kyle Allen debate has shown us...its that we can win a lot of games having a guy that can manage the game and let CMC do his thing.

Now if Cam was 26 we may be having a different conversation.

What do you guys think about having the ability to sign both? If we cant...who do you go with?

For me it's not much of a question at this point...but I'm curious to read all of your opinions on this upcoming decision.

Both. Even if Allen balls out the next 5-6 games & Cam comes back healthy we don't have a good enough sample size and n Allen for a big contract, plus Cam is an injury risk. Best case scenario is Cam gets a few more years as Superman, helping to develop Lovey into a pocket guy that keeps the offense going at a winning level.

If either of them demands an insane contract, they leave.

After his 5th is picked up, thats the end of me wanting CMC. He is playing faaaaaar too many snaps to be given a new 5 year 70 million contract. Sorry dont want to pay an used up RB, its that simple. 

Health Cam also has to prove he can play QB, until he does that, pass on him too. Keep him for the two years at 20 million, unless someone gives up a godfather-like trade.

Given his recent injury. I wonder what sort of contract Newton will ask for?

So...we should shed both Newton and CMC within two years?

I freely admit I'm looking at rational on Cam's part here & hoping he looks at endorsement $ for solidifying himself as one of the elite.

Nothing about the title of this this thread is disrespectful. It's about future cap.

Cam and CMC are valuable to this team and it will be hard to get another player of their caliber and ability skill set. Resign both unless a choice had to be made between the 2 contract wise. It will be a hard choice to make because neither of them will be easy to replace.

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
