Possible outcomes...

The league determines everything is okay, nothing changes and teams continue to tee off on Newton while opposing players and talking heads label him a crybaby.

Or...

The league directs officials to be more protective of Newton resulting in the Panthers getting more calls but opposing players and talking heads label Newton a crybaby because of it.

The reaction part of this is gonna happen regardless, so I'd prefer Option B.

Theres no way the league doesnt know what has been going on with Cam.  Since the season opener, the hits on him have made national news and been the subject of mainstream discourse at least three times.  Goodell already knows what it is.  I just dont see anyway this backfires, because now that he's acknowledged it, how does it make Goodell and the league look if it happens again and goes unpunished?

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
