Key words phrases:

"healthy"

and "next season"

Ideally, he wants to see what Cam does next year---then decide on a contract moving forward.  However, if Cam is not progressing by certain dates of significance, he could go either way.  Something about this still does not pass the smell test.  Just seems weird.

I’ll said through this whole thing the smart play is keep him and see how he does next year if he’s shot we let him go, if he plays well you resign him. It’s not hard to figure out. Him not playing on a 1 year deal means nothing since him holding out only hurts his contract chances

Watching the reality of Kyle Allen down the stretch very well may change some minds within the Panthers' organization. When he looked promising early on, I think it's feasible that Tepper may have thought we may be better off moving on from Cam. But, I think it's becoming more and more clear that Allen is likely a backup NFL QB and honestly that's not a bad thing at all from a UDFA. A good backup QB is a damn fine UDFA find.

I doubt this decision is made until after the draft though. If the right guy is available either at our draft position or a draft position we're willing and able to trade up to, we still very well may decide to move on. But, if Cam is recovering on schedule and that draft opportunity doesn't pan out, I can't imagine us coming up with a better option. 

In the ideal situation, Cam would be willing to play out the final year of his contract. But, I understand it if he's not. IF we do ink him to an extension, I do think it has to be one that protects the Panthers from a crippling cap situation if the injury issues continue to linger. In that situation, hopefully both sides could agree to a contract that pays Cam like an elite QB if he bounces back but gives the Panthers an out if he doesn't.

Fingers crossed this all works out because I'm firmly in the bring Cam back camp but I also acknowledge the trickiness of this overall situation.

Folks are going to read into this what they want. 

If they've been throwing dirt on his grave they're going to preach "healthy" and "wants" and say this is a "coded message", when in reality - Cam Newton is your franchise quarterback and they do not grow on trees.

Tepper doesn't want to go back to 3 win seasons while we scramble around for a QB. They simply don't grow on trees. Cam Newton is our best bet at winning next season and beyond at this point...Tepper knows this. 

He ain't goin nowhere.

None of that is inconsistent with a belief Cam won't return from injury healthy.  But Tepper isn't stupid - he doesn't want to sour the relationship with Cam - or nuke his trade value - by broadcasting that publicly when he could return healthy still.

I do hope Cam is back, but Tepper has said this same thing before.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"

      Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
