It’s an extension, right? It doesn’t negate the fourth year of his rookie deal, although it may negate the fifth year option. The Panthers simply weren’t willing to risk the asking price going up if CMC has another season like he had last year.

If he starts to slow down as a rb move him to the slot.  

Exactly! He will extend his career as a very good slot receiver. I don’t think Rhule & Brady will run him to the ground like Rivera tried doing last year. This still does not mean he want be on the field 95% of the time. I think Brady will use him, to create mismatches.

More concerned with the 20 million we are paying Kalil and Turner then the 16 for CMC

Not to mention the 20 mil we paid cam 3 years in a row to sit on the bench, or the 16 mil a year we’d paid KK over 5 years and have yet to have a good season... or even Shaw’s 14 mil...lol

But give the blood of our offense that money and people go apeshit

We sucked ass last year and yet McCaffrey was talked about every day as he marched towards 1k,1k. Even an injured Cam garnered national attention.

Tepper needs to have something to sell when his product isn’t winning and he himself said that may take a while.

I mean, I suppose of that makes you feel good. I could care less about CMC's headlines when we are getting the poo kicked out of us. I will never remember 2019 as his historic season. I will remember it for being a complete and utter disaster.

He was clearly just paid to be the centerpiece of this offense. (which he already was) He is almost making as much as the QB.

From a business standpoint, imagine losing Cam, Luke, Greg, and Christian all on the same offseason. (there was plenty of cmc trade talk) It would take quite a while to recover from that unless you’re holding the top pick in the draft.

A while to recover?  What do you mean?  This is NFL.  People are going to watch and Tepper has more than enough money to soften the blow for a couple seasons.  Plus there is the whole PSL angle.

Love it, CMC on a 4 you extension is perfectly reasonable. He has shown no injury history, is fantastic off and on the field and in multiple positions. Everyone knew this was getting down, it was just a matter of when.

It’s the last year of his rookie deal. 5th year options changed in the new CBA. If CMC makes the pro bowl this year his 5th year would be the same as a franchise tag. We wouldn’t save any money with the 5th year and honestly the next 5 years (last year of rookie deal) are going to be his prime years including last year. Year 4 of extension isn’t guaranteed so it could just be a 3 year extension if he shows any decline in his 27 year old year.

He is under contract for potentially 2 seasons.  And we are expected to be abysmal this year.  Let him sit out.

Or trade him.

Value was never going to be higher. That’s when you trade someone not extend them. Given the fact we aren’t even going to be competitive the next two seasons at minimum it kind of seemed like a no brainer.

You can't look at outliers and assume that is the standard result. Just look at the last 3-4 offseasons and the RB's who have signed mega deals. The results have been poor.

Will CMC have a long productive career? It's possible but he would be the exception and not the rule.

CMC is the exception to most RBs in the NFL.

This is CMC's team for all we're concerned at this point.  Considering what some WRs are getting paid and his dual use, really not a bad deal in my opinion.  Particularly when our QB is making what he is and when we get a new young one at some point will be on a rookie deal.

edit add: We're also setting the table for Kamara and Barkley who will now be asking for more than 16 mil.  16 mil/yr for CMC in his prime seems okay to me.  Just build a contender in 2 years.  None of this 5 year BS.  Get it done fellers.

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
