hopefully it works better than recent RB extensions, he has been a monster the last few years, though he has had a lot of touches the past 2 seasons

I get why it is done for fan relations reasons, especially after losing two of the team's most popular players (Newton and Kuechly). But, I honestly don't get paying a premium for an RB when you are likely about to enter a rebuild. They either have a bunch of faith in Bridgewater, and somehow rebuilding their D in one off-season, or its misguided and fan appeasement while they hope to bottom out for Fields or Lawrence.

 

[Pestilence]

I guess the structure matters more than 64m$ / 4 years. He is the best RB in the league, but he's not winning the Super Bowl by himself.

 

[Canes]

CMC is a top 5 back and deserves this contract but Hurney is a complete moron who has no coherent plan and I'm starting to think Rhule is the same although he gets the benefit of doubt for now.

He's a duo threat like Lev Bell. Can line him out wide or in the slot and run a route like a Receiver.

Good for him on getting his money. Was wondering if there would be a holdout or something given the contracts that haven't worked out for RB like Johnson, Gurley, Freeman. Bit early on Bell, and unknown on Zeke. Henry got tagged. Leaves a group of Carson, Cook, Kamara as the next group of excellent RB who will be due up for contracts. Probably tell a lot by this draft if any of them take a similar type of RB as a future replacement.

I would think Nick Chubb and Possibly Barkley will try to get their new deals next off-season. Should also be kept in mind David Johnson was a duel threat when he got his deal.

I think it safe to say Sony Michel won’t be getting one from NE. They have the 5th year option plus a franchise tag to use on him if they wanted to.

Would be easier to trade him if he’s locked into a deal

OT but I’m surprised Hurney still has a job. Thought Tepper would bring in someone else, especially this year after he hired Rhule & gave him such a lucrative deal

CMC earned the deal no doubt but he's signing the deal at perhaps the worst time. The franchise is stuck in mediocrity, not that such a thing is new to this franchise, but this is a different kind of mediocrity. If CMC went back in time but stayed the same age and landed here in 2011 there would at least be a rookie CThere's no franchise QB here, no Luke Kuechly to anchor on Defense, no Greg Olsen, etc. Yeah new coach but what exactly is the plan going forward? Strive for 7-9? Because that is what it seems like. And that's no way for a talented back like CMC to spend his prime years.

Hell everyone in Charlotte was shocked as hell when Richardson brought him back on a temporary basis in 2017. The way he was fired 5 years prior no one really thought Hurney would return in any form but here we are in 2020 and he's the full-time GM under the owner who has been here for 2 years now.

I mean to me at this point it's whatever. This is what the franchise is, a Super Bowl appearance one year, followed by no playoffs, then a playoff appearance and then 4-5 years of nothing, regardless of who the Owner/GM is

DJ was 24 when he entered the NFL, which is quite old for a rookie RB. Plus he's been injured twice.

I agree but also now is the time to rebuild. Wait it out two years and that division will be wide open with Brady and Brees retired.

this won't end well
