    Cam newton 4 yrs-22m

    About time they got rookie salaries in check

    22m still a lot but better than the 50mill these unknowns used to get

    the entire 22m is fully guaranteed

    so much better for the game. Much less incentive now to rush these younger guys onto the field and eliminates the financial burden on the teams if these guys don't pan out.

    His dad negotiates all contracts. And extra 20 million was passed under the table that Cam Newton is not aware of.

    Yeah I love it; better to give proven veterans the money than to rookies that haven't played a snap.

    Bronxers mom isn't worth what she charges on the street corner either. 20 bucks is highway robbery with that pig. Need to bring in a pallet jack just to hoist her on a bed.

    An unproven black QB getting the money early. Haven't we learned a thing from Vince Young yet?

    If the Bengals rookie QB starts the first day he will be a pretty cheap prospect.

    I agree. I wouldn't pay ANY top pick the money that the top rooks get.. 3 year deal, and lets see what happens. It ain't that way, though.

    4 years 22m, the end of that contract will be about the time NCAA comes knocking.

    I'm really pulling for Newton to do well simply for Steve Smith. I love that kid and he deserves a solid quarterback. I'm optimistic that we win 5 games this year but with a new head coach/qb situation we may be lucky to win 2.

    why do so many people think he's overpaid yet the same people continue to watch the games, buy jerseys, buy $75 tickets, etc etc...

    where do you think your money and the advertisers money should go?

    if the nfl sells over 200,000 newton jerseys this year at an average of around $100 that's $20 million this year alone, and that number doesn't count tv ratings, t-shirts, etc etc.
    so to say he's not worth the money is completely ignorant, if you can sell over $20 million/year of merchandise with my name on it then i'm probably worth $5 million/year whether i play well or not.
