Worrying about Cam leaving in 4 years

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago when it was discussed on either ESPN or WFNZ.

I think it works like this:

Under the current CBA we can franchise Cam for 2 years after his contract is up (so worst case we have him through 2016 if he continues his stellar career.) This was a point of negotiation in the CBA where the players wanted it to go to max 1 year of franchise but it stayed at 2.

Good for us.

QBs don't like the prospect of serving under 1 year contracts (security, chance of injury etc...) so Cam will want to renegotiate a long term deal as soon as possible. Somebody mentioned under the new CBA there is a limit on when a new contract can happen after the rookie contract.

Does anyone know what the rule is? When could we actually re-sign him.

Yeah I know its early to talk about this but other people are.

Cam is going to get paid and locked up by us sooner rather than later no worries...He seems like he wants to lift up Carolina from small market to something. He wants to win now, crowd support, wants BOA to be feared due to loud fan noise etc. Like I said before we drafted him he's our "LeBron James" (what he did for Cleveland) but I feel like he wont leave what he helps build just my opinion.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
