David Newton ESPN:

Rivera said personally he'd like to see Newton's deal done before the season.

"Personally, yeah, I would," Rivera said. "Hopefully, we get everything worked out together."

...

Rivera is confident that general manager Dave Gettleman and Newton's representatives will get "something positive done."

because it works in the Panthers favor... Cam would be total out of his mind to do so. Essentially the Panthers should be prove to him that they won't let him get destroyed next season. If they do, how do you think Cam will feel? smh... so there you have it! Not gonna happen!

I think G-man would want to as well, and it's Cam's side that's wanting to wait it out. Which honestly makes the most sense for Cam. Why sign a new deal after an injury-riddled year, when you lost every WR who'd caught a pass from Cam before? He'll likely have a comeback year, do well, and further increase his value. I'd say I'm pretty confident both sides want Cam to stay in Carolina.

I swear half this board does not know what a Franchise Tag is.

And the other half doesn't know what a holdout is.

If Cam truly wanted to sit out a year i'd bet a lot of money someone would still be willing to pay him the following season.

If Cam made it clear he'd rather sit out than play under the tag, I'm sure Gettleman rather trade him than use up a large junk of cap space on nothing... again.

      Aaron Rodgers to the Panthers?

      If you want attention to something, I feel like the report button works better than just saying mods in the thread.  I assume it sends them an alert, as I doubt they just continuously watch this place.   Just trying to help, if you actually see something somewhere that needs intervention or you feel this does.

      Yes, in the absence of your big brain, those points have been discussed ad nauseum around here. Most stable individuals can see that the org sucks since Tepper took over. We can’t change that fact so we debate Bryce’s viability as a QB into oblivion. Bryce has shown the occasional flash but it is year 3 and decisions have to be made. I personally don’t think he’s cut out for this but as a fan of the Panthers I hope that somehow it works.

      I agree that perspective is important.  I also think that it's fine to take the wins when you can.  So the Panthers have started playing a lot better against bad teams after the first couple of weeks.  Cool, I'll take that.  Will it continue?  I don't know.  The Jets could be the uber trap/Steve Wilks revenge buzzsaw that sucks all the life and wind out of us.  Or we could beat them and the narrative still wouldn't change because they are a really bad team. Here's my long perspective:  We've been one of the worst teams since we traded for Bryce - talent level, wins, etc.  Any metric will show that.  This year, we are improving.  Maybe we're not bottom tier trash.  Maybe we're just to below average.  That's growth as far as I'm concerned.  I'll take that.
