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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
