Why? The NFL is a business. If the Saints are making him a competitive offer and he sees that as his best chance to compete for a Super Bowl, why not?

The Saints absolutely cannot make Cam an offer.

Cam is under contract to the Carolina Football Panthers.

They can if we release him. They can after next year if we trade him and he doesn't re-sign with whoever trades for him. We're talking pure hypotheticals here.

Oh, OK....my bad. 

Curious, if you had to handicap the release > trade > retain scenarios what kind of odds would you lay?

Personally I'd be at 0% > 0% > 100%...

...and you?

I honestly have absolutely no idea.

Do you believe the chances that Cam plays NFL football in 2020 for a team other than the Carolina Football Panthers are greater than 0%?

Can you rationalize any logical/realistic scenario where that would happen?

Cam to Tampa Bay makes more sense. He fits Bruce Arians like a glove.

0% chance.

I'm a Panthers fan first and foremost, but if Cam can't win a SB with the Panthers I'd be happy for him if he won it with another organization.

Of all teams, please don't let it be the Saints.

0% chance.

It's so sad when a fan base has such an inferiority complex that they always believe their favorite player has to go elsewhere to win.

I don't trust the NFL or its officials so my jadedness comes not from inferiority complex but from the Jerome Bogers and Clete f'n Blakemans of the world.

The Panthers did everything right to win the right way. As ive said, Teppers biggest job to "win" is to even the playing field.

He can get any coach he wants but if he isn't raising hell when his QB isn't protected by the rules/officials there is no "winning".

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
