Trading Cam for a 4th round pick to fins?

I must be missing something.  How do you trade a late round comp pick (which is for this year) based on performance (next year)?

Late round comp pick is the minimum (let's call it a compensatory 7th) that upgrades to their mid round pick (say a their 5th) if Newton hits certain benchmarks. And both would likely be for 2021.

Im praying for anything at this point

How long can we keep him before we have to cut him for financial reasons?

I think we should hold onto him for as long as possible. That way teams who need a QB will have a smaller pot of QBs to chose from come crunch time.

Doubt anyone wants that 21 million salary when you can wait for him to be released and sign on a 1 year prove it deal for half that 

not when there's other teams involved then it's a bidding war. Chargers/Dolphins/Patriots/Skins

currently, no players are getting paid. the league year would be put on hiatus so the contracts would just pick up where they left off

Shefter hasn't tweeted anything about this rumor. Seems like you guys want to discuss this just because.

I will be shocked if Cam is traded for anything.

Be honest with yourself and others, if you were an owner or GM would you part ways with any draft pick and pay Cam near 20 million with his latest injuries? No, no you wouldn’t.

Rhule went 2-10 his first year at Temple. He went 1-11 his first year at Baylor. 

The suck is coming. It's part of "the process".

College is different from the pros. College coaches have to recruit talent and have to build the program. There is a huge disparity between the Alabama's and the Temples or Baylors in terms of resources and infrastructure.  In the pros you have more equitable talent and the salary cap means that one team can't get all the good players like college teams can.  Coaching matters more in the pros. In college there are lots of other factors. They may be good or bad for us.

We have one DT on the roster and he's on the wrong side of 30 and coming off of a season ending injury. We have mediocre veteran QB. We have a completely unproven OL. We lost our best CB. We lost our our best pass rusher.

This roster is a trainwreck. That's just reality.

    That’s not tanking.  You don’t coach different. You don’t play different. You set your team up with an eye on the future. Do you actually believe NFL coaches and players are actively “throwing” games? That’s what you are describing. Everyone needs to give up this false narrative. 

That is my point. Teams in the NFL don't tank on purpose for draft picks. And good teams try and pick the best players they can for what they want to accomplish. Given you get limited draft picks and  can't really count on anything lower than a third to be more than depth until he is down the road, you have to have veterans to back them up and start. Which is exactly what Hurney is attempting to do.

You point out some obvious holes. But I think we aren't done yet and we still have the draft. Am I concerned about the defense? Absolutely. But I think the offense will be better.
