Two really quick questions that you need to be honest about.

Cam has shown everyone that he can play at a high level.  Cam hasn't shown that he can stay healthy.

Correct.

And I definitely disagree with the idea that Newton doesn't have a choice. You might not be able to find a trade partner, but if he's set free, someone's gonna give him a call.

Something to ponder.... 

 

1. If you are the Carolina Panthers do you give Cam Newton an extension?

 

2. If you are Cam Newton, do you step foot on a field under a 1 year contract?

 

 

I've been saying this for awhile now.

Everyone wants to make this about his $19m next year or Kyle Allen but I think it is more about the extension.  Elite players, especially QBs expect to be extended a year early.  These are decisions that were going to have to be made this offseason, maybe the injury moved that up a little but either way it was soon.  

In theory how Kyle plays is largely irrelevant.  Granted if you have a backup that is playing well the decision might seem easier, but ultimately you don't give a guy a monster long term deal just because you don't have a capable backup.  

I can't really blame the Panthers for not wanting to commit to a long term deal, but I also can't fault Cam for not wanting to play under a one year deal.

Anyone who has an opinion of "I would just let Cam play the last year on his deal and then sign him to a long term after" or "I would sign Cam to a midlevel deal that accounts for the injuries" is making huge assumptions about factors that they probably don't know anything about.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
