Cam Ward said he WILL play

[Golsen82]

If all our players are in, then **** it, I am as well.

Let Jaden Harris opt out though

 

[Golsen82]

Hows the offense full strength matchup with iowa state? Idk a **** thing about them

 

[drewm3i]

11-2 would be a silver lining. All may not be lost! Cam is an old school guy...he remembers what it's like to have no offers and thus relishes the opportunity to play in a bowl game.

 

[IbzRlz]

He should play. He’s making a lot of money playing for this program. Not just from Canes Connection.

He's also risking an injury in a meaningless bowl game that could cost him even more money

 

[AllbouttheU]

I don’t care if he’s playing just cuz of the money. It says a lot about him and I’m grateful to get to watch him one more time.

 

[QuattroCane]

Raises the question wonder if any of these big NIL deals have clauses about playing etc.?

 

[Go Canes!!]

He's also risking an injury in a meaningless bowl game that could cost him even more money

He’s a highly compensated, professional athlete playing in college.

 

[tr1ck]

really gonna miss cam sucks only got to enjoy him for 1 year ! . can't wait to see what he does in the NFL

 

[MiamiVice7]

Got them “trench babies” lmfao I love it.

Send to Mateer please.

 

[canester95]

Is this real? Oh my…me excite.

 

[canes518]

Wow! Would not have faulted him at all for skipping the bowl but glad we get to see him one more time. I never expected to see Cam in a Canes uniform again after he was taken off the field for the FG on 4th and goal.

Ok, and that means nothing in today's society. Glad to see him and Martinez saying they will play, but saying it and doing it are 2 different things. Afterall, Cam said he was entering the NFL draft Jan 1st only to change his mind come Jan 13th. I hope to see them play Dec 28th

This is my question, too. I brought this up in another thread a few days ago, but didn’t get any answers.

When you think about it, it seems like it would be a no-brainer to include it in the deal.

 

[anr96]

**** we don't deserve him. I wish this team could've made his last college game happen in the playoffs, but still thrilled if we get to see him in a Miami uniform one more time. Totally respect his decision either way of course.

*Also, "We trying to win our first bowl game in 20 years, so we going hard." LOL

 

[mavericksouth]

Doing Mario a favor. Cam Ward is a true cane. What a great kid. Nothing but respect for him. It makes no sense but he will always be a cane

 

[canes518]

Colorado just announced their guys will play too.

I'm telling you this should have been miami vs Colorado. Would have been great for ratings.

That would have been a lot of fun. I saw something about Colorado still being tied to Pac12 bowls for this season so they weren't an option

He likely has a nice insurance policy to cover him.

 

[Damiencane86]

That OL better not let get Cam hurt. But I love this. Want nothing but the best for him. Class act

 

[ADELPHI]

Gottamn Cam! As if I couldn’t love you any more brother.

 

[bdcane4eva]

If true ...wow!
