What is the trade value of Cam in 2020?

[App Panther]

That's a good question. 

Before the season started a thread like this would have gotten the OP possibly banned. Now, it's a very real possibility. 

Any past history to use a benchmark? Trying to think of a comparable situation with a former NFL MVP QB. This is almost unprecedented if you look at the last 30 years worth of NFL MVP QBs. Favre was moved for a 4th rounder...at the age of 40.

It might make more sense to look at former star RB trades as I believe Cams value might be closer tied to that of a RB than a true QB.

Without Cam having been healthy for an entire 16 game season in two years, the Panthers (or any other team) would  have to take a leap of faith by signing Cam to a conventional contract for a top tier QB.  

There are still many ways the Panthers can decide to go in 2020, but the only way Carolina is gonna get high picks in return for Cam is from an owner/GM desperate enough to roll the dice and/or Cam being willing to sign a incentive laden contract that may not reflect his true potential.

Does Cam have any stipulations in his current contract that would limit potential trade partners?

You've got to find a combination of things...

- a team with a need at quarterback 

- one who's not necessarily in position to use a high draft pick to fill that need

- a GM who's okay trading for a guy that hasn't been healthy in 2 years

- system fit probably matters

If you can't find all of those things in one place, you're probably looking at a tall order.

I could see the Giants biting for sure. Gentleman likes former Panthers too.

So Dallas?

That's my belief where he ends up. The Fan contract is up in the air. As much media attention Cam gets, Jerry Jones would eat that up.

If he gets traded hope he goes to a team that’s a contender and has nice jerseys, so when I cop one I’ll still have some drip.

could see him going for a 2nd and conditional 3rd or 4th.

but y’all know he ain’t getting traded or released right? 

[NanuqoftheNorth]

I don't know that this is even possible in today's NFL, but I'm old enough to remember when the Raiders signed Jim Plunkett and let him sit on the bench until he was fully healed (after being physically pummeled in New England and San Francisco).  Once he physically recovered, Jim went on to lead the Raiders to two Superbowl victories. 

Given enough time to heal, I could see Cam's career having a similar trajectory with the right team.

Doubt they move on from Dak.

Yeah, not sure how anyone could "know" this half way through the 2019 season, even Cam or Hurney, and I seriously doubt you are either of them.

Titans, Bears, Buffalo, or sleeper: Vegas. 

Or he just retires and no one gets anything.  Still think that is happening.  He may say he wants to come back right now but I dunno.  Just got a feeling...

I think a very real sleeper that nobody has mentioned is, Denver.

I think Pat McAfee joked about that earlier this year and how weird yet beautiful it would be.  Fun podcast BTW.  They took his football soul, he joins them to reclaim it.

I think someone would give a first up for him. The Redskins, Titans, or Bills all come to mind as teams that I could see doing it.

I think this is a real long shot.  I think a 3rd is more likely with upside of a 2nd.

It would make for an interesting SB, especially if the Broncos and Panthers had a rematch.
