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.

      I don't agree with this, he looks jacked to me.  His frame won't allow him to ever be as big as XL, and that's fine.  He will just have a hard time with press, there are ways to deal with that.

      that type of QB, especially paired with a weaker NFL arm.....excel with quick game weapons though.   it sounds like you are a big Tmac homer.  I mean, if you are watching every snap he played in college.   So, it's safe to say we likely won't see eye to eye on expectations for year 1.   And my expectations on Tmac aren't all in his control.  As I have also said, elsewhere, this is really year 2 for Bryce.  So I expect the first half of the season to carry healthy odds of a year 2 regression (specifically the first half).  Film, tendencies, and weaknesses in Dave's offense are going to be prepared for.    out of curiosity, what cons to Tmac's game where in the scouting stuff you saw?

      Maybe a weeeee bit exaggerating. I think he will be a great player. But that doesn’t look like someone that was super committed in the weight room during college which is just a little confusing. Maybe he cut some weight to try and run a better 40. We saw Julio come into the league a little skinnier, get bigger/stronger and really start dominating. Strength and size is important as a big physical x receiver. It’s not so important for the Devonta Smith role
