I could see that as well.  I was thinking Tennessee could be a nice spot for him being somewhat close to Charlotte.  Not to mention the AFC!  If he agrees maybe we could get a decent pick. 

It's been reported that he'd like to play for the Bears.

Whether or not that ends up making a difference, don't know.

I believe that all we have is rumor and hearsay and conjecture 

1. Debilitating  Arthritic shoulder. Check

2. potential new GM and coach who may not  want him. Check

3. he may not want to play here   check   

4. 20 million in cap savings, check 
5. He may not be interested in playing anywhere. Check 

he is a captain and the face of this franchise  I see no one in free agency that comes close to him even if that shoulder is 75%   

if we get rid of Cam, then I say, make it is a wholesale rebuild, trade Luke and everyone else for draft picks and have at it hopefully taking the Hurney and Rivera brain trust with him

i believe he plays out his contract. It’s a belief

Unless they want to give him the freedom to go wherever he wants to go.

I'd rather get something back too but I could see the team doing that as a favor to him.

Completely ludicrous. 

0.00% chance "the team" does Cam "a favor".

LMAO.

Betting it doesn't matter.

If he's not here, he's not here. Doesn't really make any difference how it happens.

I knew you couldn't.

Total #FakeNews.

Uh huh 

Look dude, I get that you're trying to talk yourself (and apparently everybody else) into any possible scenario where Newton stays, but it doesn't matter. We could all think and speak nothing but happy happy thoughts about Newton staying here for the next couple of months and it wouldn't make any difference.

Yes, it's possible. No, it isn't likely. That's pretty much all that you can definitively say at this point. And it's what all of the people who actually have inside connections are saying.

You can't will it to not happen.

Yo dude!

I fully understand all the possible outcomes/ramifications...

...and, I am willing to support my opinion on what will happen with specifics.

As it relates to Cam staying with the Panthers you specifically say:  "No it isn't likely."

Why do you believe this?  Why are you so unwilling to get on the record with what will happen?  What's the inside scoop?

(and no...." It's been reported that he'd like to play for the Bears"....doesn't count)

Because that's what people I trust and know to have legitimate inside connections are saying.

Those folks allow for the fact that the situation is fluid and things could change, but they don't believe they will.

It's not really that difficult a thing to understand. But let's be real here, you're not trying to understand.

Are your insiders saying it will it be a trade or a cut?

Surely you could share that tiny bit of info?

They're saying it could be either one.

But they're not "my" insiders. They've shared the same info with pretty much everybody.

So let me see if I have this straight...

..."could be" a trade...

..."could be" a cut...

..."situation is fluid and things could change"...

...got it.  Clearly your insiders have it nailed.

I honestly believe the media and Bill are telling the truth when they say no one knows if Cam will be a panther next year because his health in february/march is what's going to determine it 

If he's healthy he's here until at minimum next year unless someone offers a can't turn down trade for him. If he's hurt then it's anyone's guess 

[SOJA]

But everyone keeps mocking him to Chicago and I don't think that happens. Chicago is either going to stick with Mitch (bc they're stubborn and refuse to admit they were wrong) OR go with a lower ceiling safer bet QB. They need consistency from that position, cam with his health is boom or bust. If they want boom or bust they'll stick with mitch

They expect him to be gone either way.

Like I said, it's not that hard to understand, but again you're not trying to understand. You're basically taking the approach that if you close your eyes, the bad thing will go away.

Bad news: That doesn't really work.
