If he's healthy, then you've got a great QB you can franchise and re-sign.
If he's not, then you bottom out, he walks, and you draft a replacement.
The chance of Cam being healthy seems to have more upside than whatever draft pick they will get for him.

Speaking from Panthers country, there was a concern that Cam would never fully recover from his injuries and be the speedy, go all out Cam of old.
