Hopefully it's somewhere in the $15-17million range or even lower. He clearly wants to stay in Carolina, and we need him here.

i would say his value at this point , not on potential, would be around 8-9 mil a yr. 15 to 17 would make it very hard to surround him with the talent he needs. He can't do it by himself as we have already seen.

Maybe $11-12mil at this point. There are 10 other teams who would be willing to pay him $15m/yr.  We can't lowball him.  If he'd be happy to take 9 then I'm all for it, but being reasonable, he deserves more than that.

LOL how are you guys getting 8-12 mil??? Maybe 10-15 years ago that was ok but times have changed. 

Just to put it in perspective Mark Sanchez is making 13 mil a year. http://overthecap.com/top-player-salaries.php?Position=QB

 

The average of the top 10 QBs is around 17 mil. He is going to get paid 18-20+ mil. 

 

Cutler, Romo, and Stafford are all making around 18 mil a yr

 He is performance wise a middle of the pack QB so far. which puts him 8-10 range. I would say at this point the only way to legitimately pay that would be in a massive incentive laden contract. That is not to say the Panthers won't over pay but in reality he is not a 18 -20 mil QB right now and if we pay that and can't surround him with the talent he needs on the O, he will never be an 18-20 mil QB on the field.

That is the problem he will be overpaid. All QBs are getting overpaid. Romo, Cutler, and Stafford are not worth 18 mil but that is the new market. If the panthers don't want to pay 18 mil then some other team like the Raiders or Jags will. Talent-wise he is in the top 10. In the 8 spot is Stafford making 18 mil. At 10 is Matt schaub making 15.5 mil. 

 

Do you think Cam will take less than Matt Schaub?

 

Objectively speaking he is probably in the range of Romo Cutler and Stafford. Also if you project 5-7 years down the line he also has the most upside with age + talent. 

 

In addition to all that Cam was the first to be screwed by the new rookie deal. Cam averaged 5.5 mil a season. Bradford got 13mil/season for 6 years! You better believe the agent will ask for more money for outperforming his rookie contract.

problem here is, you and most fans fail to understand, or flat out ignore, how salaries truly work in the NFL.

Cam is a franchise QB.

A special one.

So no matter how ya try to downgrade his value, he will get paid like a premier franchise QB.

Like it or not.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
