Rivera said there was no interest to bring in Cam Newton.

"At the end of the day, we have a young football team with a young quarterback in position. We have the chance to set and establish a thing so that’s the way we’re looking at it."

 

At the end of the day, those of you who are looking for an explanation into our free agency strategy... there it is.

Makes sense to me. Why bring in Allen when you can bring in Cam. Rivera knows too much about Cam not to bring him in at all. Focus on developing the young and build for the future instead of win now mentality that Bruce had every year.

Kyle Allen I believe has:

2020: $675k

2021: $875k

2022: $975k

 

Cam Newton would probably command $18-25 million per year, and a 2020 hit (had we traded for him) of $17m. That's the difference in demand.

isn’t Allen just under contract in 2020

Yes, I believe he just signed a one year deal (was an exclusive rights free agent so it's not like he had a lot of options)

I think it has more to do with what he thinks about Haskins at his salary rather than what he knows about Cam at his.

 

Why bring Cam in to start when you believe you have a starter in Haskins? He's not going to bring Cam in to back up Haskins.

This... He was a ERFA and signed a one year deal. Not sure where 3 years is coming from.

[Est.1974]

I’d forgotten Breeland failed a physical at Carolina too.

 

That deal in 2018 was 3/24 with 11 gtd. I would probably take that now to be honest.

Yr 1 - contractual control

Yr 2 - Yr 3 Ron Rivera mind control

[NYSkins21]

I also think RR believes Cam will get a one year deal this year from someone to start. He'll have another shot to reevaluate the situation after seeing what he has in Haskins and where Cam is at come next offseason.

 

If he feels Haskins is not the guy after the year, Cam might be an option via free agency, while he hand picks his QB of the future via the 2021 draft.

He will be an ERFA agai next season. And probably the season afer that. So under team control for up to 3 years.

True and yes if Cam comes in he is the starter and Haskins the backup. That was not going to happen. It is better to bring in someone who is a backup and has a shot to be the starter if it comes to that.

I thought Love was

 

We don't know what Love is, and with the potentially limited evaluation period, we might not know before they have to decide.  All kinda depends on how this virus plays out. I suspect OTAs are probably out.  They might not be able to lay eyes on guys on the field and watch them work until July.  Assuming training camp starts on time.

[PartyPosse]

Dwayne is probably gonna volunteer Kyle to start knowing the protection he’s gonna he getting on the left.

 

98% of haskins’ throws will be him scrambling to the right and desperately searching for Terry.

Donald Parham to the Chargers on 2 Year Deal

[HigSkin]

I'd like to see them resign Donald Penn for 1 yr and use him as the stop gap.  I think they might have him as the fall back for when Trent's situation resolved.

[Skinsinparadise]

If we are going with Christian at LT.  Maybe @volsmet is right, 3-13. 😀  Maybe not as bad as that, 5-11?  If so I can start dreaming about this dude now....

I was hoping we would sign him as I know many here did also. Instead we got Rogers whom I am still confused about.

[dyst]

This year is about hoping our young players take the next step and coaching puts us over the top.

[bakedtater1]

Here's to hoping we have a football season..folks flippin we did nothing in free agency when it won't matter when there isn't a season...no mini camps no gatherings of nothing...**** might start getting normal just before pres season and with nothing done prior to training camp the season is cancelled and there will be no 2020 nfl season.
