Funny read about Cam Newton from a year ago.

The forbes thread got me curious how much Cam makes in endorsements and somehow I ended up on a BR article calling him one of the biggest premature endorsement signings in the history of sports. I know, I know, BR is like 4 chan but I did find this amusing. This is honestly how some people thought just a year ago. Now Under Armour look like absolute geniuses.

As I said in the preamble to this humble little list, there's certainly no point in blaming Newton for suddenly being worth millions.

In fact, exactly how much his deal with Under Armour is worth is something that we don't know for sure, as terms of the deal were not disclosed.

What we do know, however, is that the deal is worth more than the one Reggie Bush got, which means that Newton has to be ahead of him by default.

Newton is no stranger to Under Armour, of course, as the company also had a big deal with the Auburn Tigers. As such, they're used to seeing Newton in their garb, so they may as well sign him up.

However, they are also now running the risk of being associated with a colossal bust.

BTW if anyone knows what Cam makes in endorsements I'm still looking.

When the Under Armour deal was signed there was no guarantee he would even be a top 10 pick. I think the most interesting part of this is the Under Armour angle. They gambled on Cam and it worked out well. When Cam was inked Under Armour stock was trading at $65 a share. Today it is over $100. They got him dirt cheap and they will ride him to glory.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
