Because at this point Cam refuses to take a) a cheap deal b) be a backup or c) both.  Right now his option is 'c' and it's not an option, it's all he's going to get.  Until he accepts that fact the 'c' is the only choice, then he will remained unsigned.

Or d) wait until a starter goes down for the season, a team panics and signs him to a big contract.

Ok.  That's like playing the lottery instead of getting a job.  If that's his plan, good luck I guess.

Good for dalton, def rather take a flyer on him than teddy but it is what it is.

Cam isn’t signing unless a starting job is on the table, a team also would want to check him out. Idk how many times that needs to be stated. 

a backup job would be his last resort and should be if the season is delayed, with no tc ect guys could drop like flies due to soft tissue injuries

Hasnt there been plenty of players signed with injury histories who were checked out by independent doctors? For example Gurley and Gronk.

Todd hasn’t taken his physical yet as of 4/20 and idk if Gronk needed one, he ended his last season healthy, he didn’t have any major health concerns. 

that said, he’s going to waiting for a starters job, which may or may not be smart we’ll see

Another starting QB taking a small one year deal.

Small?

Middle of the range is $5,000,000...that ain't small.

I wondered if a "who gets signed first Dalton or Cam" thread would be started but Andy was pinned down in 3-days...interesting.

PS...good for Jerry --- QB's getting schooled these days!

It’s almost as if we jumped into a market all by ourselves and outbid everyone. Bridge QBs sign for $1M, $7M and unsigned and we pay $21M for 3 years. Heck, we also cornered a weak WR market before the deepest WR draft in history. We seem to mistime everything. We jump through hoops to take a sucky tackle at 37 last year instead of stud C/Gs like McCoy and Jenkins and not waste pick 77 when the same or better prospect Josh Jones goes at 72 this year’s deep T draft.

I liked this year’s draft but there’s a reason why we need a new GM. He sucks at timing and value, especially in FA.

20 mil a year for a veteran starter is pretty cheap.

Before being selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft, Dalton played at TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. He lives in Dallas and will not have to move his family during an offseason that has been made uncertain by the coronavirus pandemic.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29127712/cowboys-signing-qb-andy-dalton-one-year-deal

Dalton took this deal to stay home with his family.  He is signing on as a backup.

Winston decided to be a trainee in NO.

We signed Bridgewater to be a starter and paid a lot less than the going money for a starter  (who knows the OC and the system).  I don't see where there is much to complain about.

Odds of a starting QB going down are much better than the lottery. Man has made 120 mil as an NFL QB, plus millions in endorsements, he can afford to wait.

Most teams have a competent second string QB.  They go that route instead signing Cam.  If a team somehow has their top two guys hurt, then he may get a shot.  If Cam was such a hot commodity he would be signed already.  Comp picks are no longer in the equation, so that's not an issue.  A physical? I'm sure if a team wanted him bad enough they could get a physical worked in somehow.  The reality...Cam can wait, but it may hurt him in the long run.  If waiting for an injury is his winning bet, whereby some team throws money at him out of desperation, then he may sit out the entire season.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
