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

i agree...but

IF we dont want him past next yr, need to get something for him now...otherwise we get nothing when he hits FA

so many qb's looking for homes this season.  its like nothing is falling in our favor.   if there weren't so many we would get better offers than what we'll see - if we're looking to trade him.   if we're looking for him to play out his contract and he plays really well we're in a bidding war and very well may end up with nothing, and in a position where drafting a top qb next year is out of reach with a mid first rounder.   hmmmm.  i feel like we should get what we can and take love if the other 3 are gone already, or i don't really know.  offer cam a 1 year extension? for what amount?  then trade him if he plays decent in what will be a better market, or resign him to a monster contract if he balls out with all the ramifications that could have given his style of play.   its a conundrum and i'm done with my own opinions and am very interested to see how it plays out.

Here's the thing though...

If you are absolutely certain you want to keep him, there's no way you let him play out the final year of his contract without an extension. If you do that and he plays well, he can get contract offers from anywhere and you either have to win a bidding war or use the franchise tag.

On the flipside, if you're Newton, playing out the last year of your deal without any guarantees puts all the risk on you.  If you get injured or play poorly, all your future earning potential goes out the window.

Like I said, I don't know what happens next, but I do know it's considered highly unlikely by pretty much all sources that the Panthers offer Newton any kind of extension prior to this season. If that doesn't happen, then all possibilities are open.

Most posters here over look this. If I am Cam, no way in the world am I playing this year in Carolina without a new contract. Especially if you consider the issues on the online and loss of talent on defense.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
