As a huddle "stenographer" I listened to part 2 of Cam's interview on WFNZ and wanted to share how it went. Cam sounded relaxed and having a good time. Which I really think is his best way of being interviewed... in a chill, non confrontational environment. They got a lot of good nuggets out of the MVP 

Part 2: The Dab is over. It is retired.

Cam Newton on Von Miller: Has utmost respect Demarcus Ware and Von Miller. They have mutual friends. At the end of the day, I want to be the best. But we have another opportunity on September 8th… and you better believe that game is circled with his SHARP1E. Its not a rematch game, but the first game on the schedule.

Cam on Charlotte: I like how the energy around the city has changed. It’s so crazy. I have to make a confession, when I first got here, my bone with Charlotte was that there was no pride. There were other teams colors… But it’s our house. It’s a mentality. The defense has a mantra, defend our dirt. I don’t have any problems with any fans. But it’s a respect thing… When you come in my house, you dog on right I will be offended.

Cam on Steph Curry: Could you beat Steph one on one? The competitive Cam says absolutely… In real life.. no way. (emphatic.)  I’m a big fan of Steph and his family. He’s a person that does it the right way. He celebrates. He has fun. We had a conversation about sports… a person asked me is Steph Curry the best basketball player on the planet. Cam says no. Steph Curry is the best basketball player on the best team on the planet. Lebron is still the best player in the world. But it tells you how important the power of team is better than the power of individual skill.

Cam smiles when he’s told he was as important to Lebron or Steph. “That means a lot.”

Asked about the Super Bowl Press Conference: I talked to friends and I talked my family. Feels like he cant say if he would do it again, until he’s in that situation. Says You can’t judge anything or anybody until you’ve been in their shoes. (Cam has yet to see the press conference.) Admitting to learn from it. Will not become a better loser. I’m born to win. Be a winner. Master your craft. You don’t live to be mediocre.

On Muhammad Ali:  When Cam was 7 or 8 years, people would mistake his dad for Muhammad Ali. Cam’s dad would say, yes I’m Cecil Ali. Cam fell in love with Ali. He stood for something.

On the Kickball tournament: Talks about All proceeds go to the Cam Newton foundation. Eddie George, Brandon Lafell, The Amigos, and others.

On the Panther culture: The Panther culture is at the point where we don’t need coaches at practice… We have coaches to facilitate what we’re supposed to do. They could have a players only practice because they’re so self motivated.

(There is a part 1) But I didn’t hear it live. Feel free to post it here when it becomes available.(KB)

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
