Cam's value and rebuilding

I have to say that, fan-goggles removed, Cam is at least worth more than a single 2nd rounder. I know people are concerned about his health, but there was a market for him even after the injury last year and, with the uncertainty of the QB market at this point, I think he's actually worth more than most people think.

As for suitors, the Bears and Chargers are the first teams that come to mind. The Chargers have nobody at QB, and very little draft collateral. The Bears have less draft collateral, and don't seem to be happy with Mitch.

I'd try hard to get Chicago to take Cam for their two second round picks. I'd send them our second rounder as well. That would move us down in the round, but net us an extra second rounder.

I would then try my damnedest to get Las Vegas to trade up to 7. They could send us their #19 overall, a player, and picks #80 and 81 in the third round. We'd then have picks #19, 43, 50, 69, 80, 81, 113, 152, 184, and 221.

 

Anyone else got any fair/proposed moves moving forward?

Well, we certainly have not boosted his trade value with all of the Panthers’ and Tepper’s statements today.

Bronn, the point is the organization has just told the world they're going in a differenct direction. They already have a new QB. That takes away most if not all of your leverage in any negotiation. They'll likely have to take whatever's offered because teams know you'll release him if he's not traded. 

Plus Cam has all the power to manipulate where he goes, particularly using his injuries to restrict going to a team he's not interested in.

It's already widely reported that a Bridgewater signing is imminent and the Panthers have already publicly said their goodbyes on social media.

Any trade leverage they ever had is GONE.

Sad but true.

The team has handled this horribly. Reports that Newton was "blindsided" by this put the team in an even worse light.

Why would we do that and give up our leverage? Like what sense does that make?

I sense that we were using the Brady holding pattern to get "our guy" and didn't want to wait for NE and the others that didn't get picked to really jump in on Bridgewater.

It doesn't. Just like moving on from Cam while he's at his lowest value doesn't. You figure out a way to let him get healthy and get on the field, even if it's for half a season. Even if it costs you some cap. 1st and 2nd round picks are gold and the key to winning in today's NFL.

      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.
