For Cam? Most likely a 4th and 7th. Maybe a 3rd instead of a 4th. It's more about the money.

19 mill is cheap for a QB.

And fug off kids. I'm getting old. I saw the first Panther game. 2003 Patriots Superbowl set my happy endings back to tears n not believing I'd ever see it, to 2015 and an absolute juggernaut of steam that only Ron could fug up and this, that was the nail in Cams coffin. Futures boys may get your wish n pencil dickk Lawrence could be on our team. Hope the guys sleep well in their monitors. Just sad.

With Luke retiring, I see no reason why Rhule would want to keep an aging and injury proned QB around for next year. Rhule can have 19m to help rebuild his team a year earlier and possibly even draft pick(s). Trade him to New England if Tom Brady leaves. 

You're right nerd. Why should we ever want to win again? Fools gold. Draft picks niggga!

If the Rivera connect is strong, try to sell Snyder on his rescuing his franchise. Go after their 1st, Payne, and Haskins. Go get something.

Cam for Trent

I don’t think the Luke news changes anything, this notion to blows things up to get the desired results can also backfire and send us spiraling downwards like the browns.

use your resources you have, don’t sell them for unknown commodities 

Exactly. This is a business. Reload. Nobody is going to pay money to see a purposely stripped roster and a coach with smarts and hope.

You basically rebuild every season. This notion of losing and losing and losing and that somehow leads to greatness is silly.

What losing leads to is your franchise becoming a doormat welcoming beat downs and humiliation.

You're gonna regret giving up on Cam when he proves you and your ilk wrong

This isn't even really about Cam but the team around him. 

[DubE_4MR]

Cam is going into a contract year where he needs to ball out and prove himself to land that Russell Wilson deal. How will he be able to do that with this team being torn apart to shreds? 

The direction where the team is going and the direction that Cam wants to go may not be on the same playing field. And that's OK. Cam needs to do what's best for him and his future.

i don't know why you guys are hating the idea of a rebuild.   thinking we don't need one is exactly what marty hurney does to the roster every year, and what gets us in this mess.   we need a rebuild and a new philosophy of building a team, and to not get lost in thinking we're 1 player away.   we've been a shooting star twice.    we need to do it differently.   cam deserves to do what he wants.   if he wants to play on a 1 year deal then great.  if he doesn't then great - we let him seek greener pastures

After the Luke retirement, and considering the major coaching overhaul, I'm all for a complete tear-down. Tear it down to the studs and let's see what Rhule and company can do from scratch.

I hope I am wrong but I suspect Cam has limited (relative to fan expectations) trade value. He has not been healthy for the better part of at least two years. I actually think his deep ball was gone for the full 2018 season. It was not until midseason of that year that teams caught on to that fact. 

If this is indeed the factual case pertaining to Cam's trade value, should the Panthers be willing to gamble and pay him 21 million and risk setting the teams  rebuilding process back even further?

Ideally, you trade him rather than cutting him. I am just skeptical regarding what that value would be. I simply do not think it as high as many on this board seem to believe. The truth is we have very limited information regarding Cam's health, but what we do know is not good. The Panthers have plenty of information and will get more information regarding Cam's recovery from surgery and hopefully be in a better position to make an informed decision.

Time will tell. I will hope for the best and expect something less.
