Tua likely won’t play this year. Could end up like Houston and give a top 5 pick the following year. And if things fall a certain way it could be a Lawrence or Fields if the top is in the top 2.This move is confusing. I guess they want McCaffery to have an okay QB but I also thought if they were going to part ways with Cam, that they would swing a deal to draft Tua or Burrow. This makes the Panthers seem content with spinning the 7-9 hamster wheel. If thats the case then CMC ought to be traded before his prime washes away.
A 3 year deal likely means year 1 is guaranteed. Likely year 2 isn’t. Carolina would eat a small dead cap charge if he were to be cut. See in the structure of the deal. Maybe he gets like a $6 mill signing bonus and then 15/16 mill in base for year 1. Then they would eat a $4 mill dead cap if they finish at the bottom and draft a QB in 2021.Bridgewater won 5 games as a starter for the Saints. in two of those games, he threw 0 TD passes.
I like Teddy. He seems like a good guy and it's nice to see him get a fat pay day after that horrifying leg injury, but man this move has "Osweiler to the Texans" written all over it. If you're gonna throw that much cash at a very unproven starter, you may as well let Cam ride out the remainder of his deal and see if he can regain his old form.
