Contract Forecast: Cam Newton

I don't know. I would probably value him around 16 a year. I don't expect a hometown discount either. Cam could command a big number on the open market and end up playing in a city with better endorsement money. Cam is a running QB. One of his idols...Michael Vick has signed 2 $100m contracts and failed to finish either of them. If he takes a hit to the knee and never learns to play from the pocket his earning power could drop next contract cycle.

Why? Caps have increased since the new CBA went into effect. In the next 2 years the cap shoots up and each team has to spend that amount at some point.

 

If Cam continues to play at a high level, the market will call for 22M+/yr.

 

The question is - will Cam pull a Manning or a Brady? Manning always took the max. Brady was always willing to take less than the max. 

 

Because to think that a player can feasibly demand a 120 million dollar pay increase is absurd. No level of play can warrant that. But hey, don't take my word for it, it's just the guys in the league saying it.

 

 

 

If this team gives him 22mil or more lol than hahaha at us we're morons.

I don't even want to think about anything other than winning.

 

Call it tunnel vision, I don't care. It feel like its been a lifetime since were were in this position with an awesome prime time game in a few days. I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this and not think about potential bad situations. I've had enough Panther hardships over the past few years, I'm not going to contemplate losing Cam

 

I trust in Gettleman. I believe at the end of the day, we will be a consistent contender with or without my favorite players. That's all that matters to me and all I can do as a fan.

Would like to see us offer Cam an 8-10 year contract for 120 million this offseason so we can be put at ease on that front and just start to build around the core and depth.... with the franchise QB in place we have a decade window to try and win a title or two. Your window mostly stays open as long as that guy and the coach are in place. I think Cam is one half of that puzzle.

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
