A pretty cool stat that Newton is going to own this season as well...

Newton just broke Delhomme's franchise record for TDs, well he's not very far behind Deangelo's franchise record rushing TDs either. I think that record is 46 TDs. 

Not sure if a player has ever owned both rushing and receiving records for a franchise before. You could say this is because our franchise is so young or because we've never had a truly great RB, and I think it's a valid point. Still, Newton is probably going to finish his career in the same TD territory as many great RBs. Probably around Priest Holmes or Edgerrin James territory. 

By the time Newton finishes his career, the rushing TD franchise record might be his for a long time.

By the time Cam is done he will likely have enough rushing TD's to where he'd be the franchise leader on more than half the teams in the league.

 

the more interesting one will be if he also ends up as our leading rusher as well.

I'd say yes easily, but I'm guessing within a few years he'll be running a lot less and be more of a roethlisberger type who scrambles around behind the LOS until he can make a pass.

      Tells me, after watching Morgan, that we will see a very active FA period trying to get us to taking BPA.

      Are you all assuming Smith is telling the truth? Since when is he a truth person? He's a prick and the truth is not in him. Sorry, not sorry.

      Jeremy Fowler: Don’t be surprised if Carolina makes some big moves on defense

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      More From the article... Something an NFL head coach said to me, unsolicited: "Watch for Tua [Tagovailoa] in Atlanta." If the Panthers lose running back Rico Dowdle in free agency, I don't think they'll rush to find an external replacement. They have Chuba Hubbard under contract, they like second-year back Trevor Etienne's promise and they're optimistic on 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, who has played only three games in his career because of injuries. I'm told Brooks is making good progress in his rehab and was up over 21 mph on the treadmill in a recent workout. Carolina is at least hopeful that Brooks can contribute this season, though obviously, his health history will always make that a question. Wide receiver Jalen Coker could receive a contract extension in Carolina. Panthers center Cade Mays: Some teams anticipate he could make $8 million per year on a new deal. Fowler: Mike Evans will limit his choices to a handful of teams in part because of his criteria. He wants a quarterback he believes in, a chance at a Super Bowl, a top-shelf offensive coordinator and the promise of high-volume touches. Only so many teams fit that mold. The Buccaneers will aggressively pursue re-signing Evans and met with his agent, Deryk Gilmore, on Thursday. Teams I expect to see gauge the free agent RB market include the Chiefs, Texans and Giants, among others. Carolina's Rico Dowdle and Atlanta's Tyler Allgeier are both free agents their respective teams would consider bringing back at the right contractual price, but I expect both to get a chance to hit free agency and see if they can get starter-level money elsewhere. Graziano: The Falcons will release Kirk Cousins before the start of the league year, when his $67.9 million salary would become fully guaranteed under the terms of his reworked contract. Atlanta has to pay Cousins a $10 million roster bonus this year, whether he's on the team or not, but it does not appear to be interested in bringing back Cousins. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48045815/2026-nfl-combine-latest-buzz-news-rumors-free-agency-draft-qbs-trades-offseason
