Monday is the first day teams can begin to renegotiate or extend the rookie contract of a player drafted in 2011, and teams also could exercise a fifth-year option on that player. The Panthers likely are to begin those discussions after the season, according to a source.

Another good article by JJ. Talks about Drayton's and Byron's first impressions on Cam, Rivera bailing out Cam during rookie hazing too.

No way it's under 100 million

Agreed.

 

Unless, they resign him to a new contract altogether, the Panthers can pay him at most $16 million a yr next year. 

 

If they want to resign him to a new multi-year contract, at or less than that amount, I think Cam waits. 

 

Why would he sign a new multi year contract for 6yrs at $90 million, when he could get a $120 million contract (for the same years), if not from the Panthers, from some one else?

 

Just look at some of the other new QB starting QB salaries, even ones who have not won a Superbowl.

Some serious talks will be had with Cam for sure....

 

GMan:  So you remember how bad it felt those first two years when we lost more than we won

 

Cam:  I do..I do...some of the hardest years of my life as a player

 

GMan:  We understand you did a lot this year with a few more weapons but nothing great other then smitty and olsen to throw to at this point. 

 

Cam:  True, but my Oline is makeshift at best with a few solid pieces.  Hell we have a DE playing on the line this year and starting.

 

GMan:  I understand.  So lets give you a good contract that allow us to better Oline, a WR on the free market or draft, and will give us a little wiggle room to resign Hardy.  That Def is pretty elite and man Im sure you feel better when we are in the lead and they have our backs.  (instead of saying man thank god that Def saved our asses half the year)

 

Cam:  True.  I had a nice long talk with MJ and to create a Dynasty you have to make changes.  I want to paid, I know im not elite yet at throwing but man i can do things no one else can.  Remember I got you a ring this year too.

 

GMan:  True.  Ok 16 million 6 years 40 million guaranteed.

 

Cam:  ok here, lets do 15 million 6 years 50 million guaranteed.

 

GMan:  ok done.  as he keep staring that new superbowl ring.

 

 

KEEP POUNDING!

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
