Cam's value and rebuilding

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

Stupidity?

The question was how much leverage we had to start with.  Had Cam been able to play the second half of last season and looked rusty, but healthy, we would have some leverage and his value would have gone up.  But the foot injury happened, which left him unable to show he had recovered from the shoulder injury, and here we are.

Had he been able to play the second half of last season, it is also possible we are not talking about a new starter, but who will be backing Cam up.

His value is hurt mostly by his injuries, especially the shoulder.  It is only exacerbated by us having acquired his replacement already.

The link in time between this, the Tom Brady situation, and the Raiders signing Mariota is a lot of coincidences for me to accept.  Maybe it is just coincidence, but if so, it is a series of eerie coincidences.  I’m left wondering if there had been discussions with the Raiders, who won my “most likely to overcompensate for Cam in a trade” award, and when that didn’t work out, today happened. 

Almost always, things like today are a reaction to something else that did or did not pan out.

We still own his rights...cam has zero leverage

Given that we've essentially let the world know we're moving on from him, neither do we.

a 3rd or a 4th will do.
