The market for Newton

[Mr. Scot]

From Jason La Canfora...

Quote

Sure, there is a lot of uncertainty with the 30-year-old given his injury-plagued past two seasons. Yes, I can understand a little trepidation about Newton's foot, which ended his 2019 season after two games, following a shoulder injury shutting him down in 2018. But that is why all contracts are not binding until the team can conduct a physical. And that's more than enough protection, given the opportunity to perhaps buy exceedingly low on one of the greatest talents to ever play the position.

Perhaps Newton has lost a half step. Maybe the accumulation of all of those years of playing his position like a linebacker have caught up to him. But if ever there was a buyer's market, this is it, with the entire league taking a pass on the chance to trade a late-round pick for a highly production former top overall pick on a one-year, $19M flyer of a contract.

Which tells us a few things about what is to come next.

In this depressed and overcrowded QB market, Newton is very likely looking at a prove-it contract below that $19M figure. I'm guessing maybe around $15M with the chance to earn four or five more in playing time and productivity incentives. If someone was valuing him at more, then they would have traded for him.

An enterprising team with a need to upgrade at quarterback may be able to get Newton to agree to a two or three year deal that automatically voids should he manage to hit certain high thresholds. Or, should Newton achieve certain standards in 2020, then an additional year of the deal is triggered at, say, $35M or something like that. Regardless, there are more than a few creative ways that a club could attach itself to this asset, knowing that if Newton does play well in 2020, and then leaves as a free agent in 2021, then a high 2022 comp pick is coming. A team could sign Cam and still draft a QB high in the first round. They are not going to be mutually exclusive.

It's a pretty good read. I recommend it.

Need to make just one cam post panthers thread 

[Cpt slay a ho]

I sssume a incentive heavy deal with his base salary at 15-17mil, just hoping(which he will imo) he does what’s best for cam and not pull a Steve smith, who had a chance at rings if he signed with the pats or Seahawks but chose the middling ravens

People keep whining that we didn’t get anything for Cam because Hurney screwed up.  No...we didn’t get anything because there isn’t a market for a QB who hasn’t won a game in nearly 2 seasons, and hasn’t been fully healthy for longer than that.  
 

Cams been a free agent for Over 24 hours  and still not a peep as to a team being highly interested.  I love Cam...but this has nothing to do with Hurney or Rhule or Tepper.

The NE athletic beat writer is saying the team has no interest in Cam.

The team waited until the last minute to even try to trade him, and then waited until all the seats were taken to release him.

Had the Panthers advertised a month ago they were trading him openly... plenty of teams would have stepped up.

no WAY the Colts prefer Rivers over at least trading for Cam pending a physical,.. That’s just one example.

Jesus.  The cam fluffers have to be beating their heads against the wall at this point.

What sense does the last part make ? There’s a quarantine, so he can’t meet with teams ect anyway, also there’s no way to determine who and who doesn’t have Interest without being someone who’s directly involved. I’d wait until the quarantine is over before jumping the gun on that one

Nobody wants him dude, get it through your thick skull.  The effing bears who are a qb away from being a dominant team said no no because of his health.  Just move on godalmighty

I meet with co-workers and clients everyday from home and we conduct business.  If someone wanted to meet with Cam they could.
