If I were a Panthers fan, I would be a little sad that Cam is going to take up that much cap space.

They are cap constrained, had no weapons for Cam and finished below with Cam accumulating a 5-8-1 record, so now with his huge CAP hit they'll have even less money to get him weapons and an oline.  At least Dalton won tons of games before getting his money.  Cam has had one winning season, which was mostly attributable to his defense.

Good deal for the Panthers.....yeah.
