2011 Draft Class - Will everyone wait on Cam's contract?

Recommended Posts

Since teams can start negotiating....is the rest of the NFL waiting on Cam to ink a deal to set the price as the first pick of the 2011 draft and set the QB pay scale? (other than Kap, is any other QB getting a new contract? Dalton?)

 

I haven't heard any news on non-QB contracts whose contracts aren't as dependent on Cams. (not going to list everyone, just these guys should be expecting big $$)

DEs: JJ Watt, Von Miller, Aldon Smith, Quinn.

WR: AJ Green, Julio Jones

DBs: Peterson

OT: Solder, Carpenter

I don't know but I will say it again. If the Panthers, 49ers, Seahawks, Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins, Eagles wait until the Colts and Luck finish theirs...

 

The market value of NFL QBs will be 22 million without question.

 

Luck is going to ask the Colts for a contract north of 25 million/year and god help us all if the Colts give it to him.

If he wins a SB, of course.

Considering all these guys contract expires a year before Luck's, won't have any effect on all the guys drafted a year before him.

But there are only 4-5 weeks left to decide if the team is going to exercise the 5th year option.

Sent from my LG-LS720 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Of course they will exercise the option which must be decided by May 3rd. Right now the tag for quarterbacks is 14 million and even if it increases by 4 or 5 million it won't be more than we will paying him.

The only downside is that if we exercise the option, it will guarantee the money for injury and if he is on the roaster at the beginning of the 5th year, the money will be fully guaranteed.  With his injury history even with the surgery it sounds like a good bet with little downside..

The Panthers, 49ers, and Bengals could all wait until next off season to extend. The Colts are able to begin negotiations with Luck next off season. Which means Luck could get an extension prior to Newton, Kaepernick, and Dalton.

 

And the rest were drafted the same year as Luck.

I remember hearing about how weak that draft class was at the time. Well... 12 of the first 16 picks have made at least one Pro Bowl; one of those that hasn't yet is Nick Fairley, who is no scrub. The other three? Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder.

 

Notable later picks include Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Kyle Rudolph, and Richard Sherman.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
