Tepper has "no idea" whether Cam Newton needs surgery

I thought this was odd also. Rivera does not know if he needs surgery either, so how long is this going to take to find out? Are they going to wait so that he can’t recover by training camp? He’s on Instagram posting videos of intense workouts on the stationary bike and smoking cigars in the Rolls Royce in ATL (this is not a dig he can do what he wants in the offseason), but no reports from anyone on him rehabbing, getting opinions etc. it seems like a normal offseason for him so far. This all seems very hush hush for a surgery he is two years removed from. Cams health decides the fate of the team for the foreseeable future and I hope he gets healthy as soon as possible. It is very frustrating though to have so many people within the organization say they have no idea if he needs surgery.

no they have no idea because cam refuses to get an mri

Why do you continue to say this? It’s absolutely insane to think that a team who is paying him over 100 million wouldn’t make him get an MRI, or just be cool with him refusing to do so. It would possibly allow the panthers to void his contract. With something as important as his throwing shoulder, you think Cam would risk having his career end short because he is scared of getting an MRI?

The team cannot make cam do anything medically. It's his body.

If he is refusing to allow team doctors the chance to correctly diagnose and treat a known injury that effects his ability to play professional football (the game that the panthers are paying over 100 million for his services) then that would allow the team to void the contract. The statement that he refuses to get an MRI is made up. Show me any crumb of proof to that.........I’ll patiently wait.

    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
