I'm not talking about Cam on a new deal, I'm talking about Cam on his current deal. If he doesn't want to play under that contract, then the decision is basically already made for the Panthers.

That's what people have been hearing that leads them to believe he won't be back though.

What legit NFL source has said Cam does not want to play out his deal?

It's completely illogical to think he won't.

I don’t think it’s a source. I think people are assuming his agent will want him with an extension before he plays out his last year due to his injuries and our questionable offensive line. Hopefully it won’t play out that way, but from a business stand point, I could see him wanting one...

Yeah but he keeps hinting at "what people have been hearing" without any sort of backup. 

I did hear that bozo Darin Gantt saying "what if" about Cam's contract but there's no merit to that sort of pablum.

It's perfectly logical that Cam's agent would want him to have an extension, but it's completely unrealistic to think he will get one.

Seriously, who will offer a competitive long-term deal to an ailing QB coming off of foot surgery who hasn't played in close to 2 years?

Nobody will.

Cam's best option is to play out his contract next season.  If he does so and balls out, he then has ALL the cards....that's a hand he can play into the SINGLE LARGEST QB CONTRACT IN HISTORY -- and with the team of his choice!

Tepper won't give him the option to field other offers but even if he did, were Cam able to find someone stupid enough to extend one it would be a lousy below-market deal.  Not to mention Tepper would probably trade him to some really crappy organization which would suck for Cam.

I'd be interested to see someone lay out a logical path for trading Cam and what kind of contract he'd be able to secure before next season.  Which team, projected details on the contract.

I agree with everything you are saying. I hope he plays with us and crushes it next year. We could tag him and either trade or extend him. I just hope a desperate team like Chicago doesn’t try to trade and extend him this year for not significant draft capital. I think Allen’s play as of late helps ensure we don’t trade off Cam for peanuts.

Rest easy. 

Chicago can try all they want --- Tepper will never ever make the deal.

We're gonna learn something about Herbert here. Maybe he has the moxie that I think he lacks. Down 14 after his INT leads to an ASU TD, he's getting the ball back with about 12:30 remaining. Let's see what he truly has... if Oregon doesn't take the ball out of his hands this drive. They may go run heavy on this one.

      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.
