Cam Newton's deal with the Panthers: -

  • Signing bonus: $2.25M
  • Base salary: $2.25M (guaranteed)
  • Per-game roster bonus: $187.5K
  • $500K for each playoff win + 50% playtime ($1.5M max)
  • $1.5M for a Super Bowl win + 50% play time
  • Super Bowl MVP: $1M

 

Max value: $10M

Actually sounds reasonable.

So if the Panthers don't make the playoffs it is at most around what, 6 million?

Cam = $6m for 1/2 season

Teddy = $31m + 3rd (potential comp pick lost out on) for 1 season

Sam = $23.6m+2nd+4th+6th for 1 or 2 seasons

Cam could be the worst QB in the league and his contract is still exponentially better.

Embarrassing 

I agree, at a high level its pretty wild. However, usually franchises sit and wait while going through the poo. Our FO keeps on swinging. The situation is what it is, and long term impact is minimal... but I am not going to sit here and rip on our FO, because the bottom line is that they realize the decision isnt going to yield they results they hoped, so they pivoted. You dont see that kind of agility from NFL franchises typically.

    • I get it, but it's just like "dropping dimes" doesn't have a definition either but is saying the same thing. They're like what the Supreme Court said about Porn, "you know it when you see it" And I think you have to be watching with some crazy ridiculous Bryce goggles to think he was "slinging dots downfield" as the OP said.  I'm not taking anything away from Bryce for making the necessary throw in those situations and got two TDs on two 4th down plays.   But they weren't "sligning dots downfield" and they weren't "dropping dimes", they were pretty basic throws for any NFL QB, not even starting QB, just any QB.  They were 15-20 yard touch throws for the WR to run under it, with no safety over the top of them or need to let them get down in bounds.  They were in essence practice throws with no DB covering them, just in a high pressure game situation. 100% perfect throws for what was needed, which in itself is a credit to Bryce as he's struggled with that on easy throws in the past.  And hell, this literally might have been his best game of his career all things considered. But "slinging dots downfield" is just an absurd statement to say after today, sorry.
    • Idk, but I was just scrolling shorts and this video popped up calling the Tmac pass an “absolute dot” so, unless this is you, it seems like it might meet more people’s definition of “dot” than he thinks. Anybody crashing out over calling these passes “dots” really can’t be taken seriously on any Bryce Young related topic because he clearly affects their ability to think straight.
