Could all the trade Cam posturing be Tepper playing hard ball vs Newton contract?

The more I think about it the more it makes sense. Trading Newton nets you absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. You trade a potentially in his prime top 10 qb who has been given 1 full year off to heal for some second day 2-3  round picks the equivalent of magic Beans to one of the "worst" second round 3rd round talent evaluaters in the league???

That doesn't make sense to me. Keeping Newton allows you at worst a bridge qb and the chance to shore up a team depleted of talent this season and not forcing a qb when the elite 2 would be gone or cost us the future to acquire. I hear all the media and "huddle elitist" chomping at the newton is gone bit. But ask yourself this does it really make sense? Is the risk worth the reward. As business savvy as tepper is I have no dout he has come to the same conclusion.

Unless we are in full tank mode no way we trade Newton for some more Hurney specials. We gonna trade him for some more Little's running around the IR? Maybe a dontae Jackson if were lucky? A Grier or two? It just doesn't make sense to anyone building a football team for the future.

I do not see it.  Here is why:  If they are hardballing Cam to keep him from asking for an extension----they simply say nothing and do not offer him an extension. Cam has made no threats of a holdout--no demands.  I have never heard him talk about money. This strategy creates animosity and angers the fan base.

The Panthers do a great job of keeping everything close to their chest. But I will tell you this, Ian Rapoport has Bus Cook's (Cam Newton's agents) cell phone. I know this from previous clients of his. So when you hear Ian Rapoport say "My understanding", "sources involved in the situation", "He would welcome a trade to the Chicago Bears from my understanding", that's Bus Cook/Team Cam leaking information to the media. It damn sure isn't Tepper or Hurney. What incentive do they have to leak? Because they want to talk contract extension.

Tepper wants to know that he's healthy before engaging in those talks. If the talks go nowhere, then trade, release or play out his deal become a possibility. 

 

This isn't really groundbreaking stuff. Agents and teams use the media for posturing all the time. Listen to Lombardi's podcast. He talks about this a lot and even said the same thing I did, about Team Cam being the source of the leaks.

If they were unwilling to discuss an extension, how would that point to wanting to keep him?

Could be a preemptive strike. Would be foolish to just assume your NOT gonna extend him no matter what he looks like before March. A savvy owner would be prepared for just such a scenario.

keep going

Sigh... the guy your making fun of is one of the more recent prevailing voices in the Panthers football community.

https://www.the4manrush.com/ aside from  having a burgeoning website and one of the more popular panther* related youtubes and podcast shows

But regardless of where the information comes from it's the knowledge you should consider not who said it. But coming for the huddle troll this is pointless.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
