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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
