Elky Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) He only has one year left on his contract. Draft a QB high and have him sit behind Newton until they're mathematically eliminated or once the season is over. After that let Cam walk.

SteelKing728 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I doubt this stops them from drafting a QB early this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) If he’s hurt they couldn’t really trade him anyways this could just as easily be the panthers trying to recoup some his his value by showing some faith in him as a starter they could just roll into 2020 with cam, you could do worse, but I’m not sure this guarantees he’s back Edited February 25, 2020 by Dome 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Bit of a surprise to see this. I figured he was as good as gone. Got to think he's on a short leash for this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Right now 5they dont have much of a choice. He isnt healthy. When he finally is, Its possible the hope is that he plays well enough that they can trade him before the deadline.

Phew... this is what I was worried about. The Lions can rest easy knowing we still have a trade partner in play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the surgery will allow him to do that. Still up in the air 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cam is playing well, 9 times out of 10, the team is playing well. Why would a team do something dumb like trade the QB in the middle of the season when they could be in contention? Why would a team pull the plug on their own season just to trade him and start all over with a new guy?

TwoUpTwoDown Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Like everyone se said this is the smartest move they can make right now. What's the point of saying anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 From a business perspective, keeping Cam makes sense. He brings a few more people to the stadium and 21M in 2020 is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time I'm offering a possible perspective that, knowing he really doesnt have trade value right now perhaps they're hoping he develops some to be able to get something out of him. That all would hinge on landing Tua or Herbert though. The most likely scenario and smartest decision is simply to ride out the final year of his contract and then start over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
