For Igo and everyone else putting Cam on another team next season

[Mistuh Jones]

As much as I hate to say it, he might just be driving up the price. I hope that's how he truly feels tho

He's probably been one of the top jersey sellers for years and with all of the uncertainty around his future I'm sure sales have declined dramatically while they're sitting on a ton of inventory. Retail economics 101.

*that's assuming this is even true in the first place.

Because he's on IR and hasn't seen the field for a year and half with the exception of 2 games?

Which is exactly what a guy who's looking to get the best trade offer he can would say.

Nobody who's hoping to swing a trade is ever going to come out and say "we'll just release him if we can't get what we want". That kills your chances of getting anything.

You always have to act as if you're perfectly content with keeping him moving forward.

I don't know whether Newton will be here next year or not. I do know there are significant factors working against it.

Those things could change, but if they don't then it's not likely..

That seems coded in the very least. 

I'm sure we would all prefer a healthy Cam being the starting QB for us next year. The real question becomes will he actually be healthy?

It's important because it elucidates that Tepper has not "moved on" from Cam as so many with "insider" connections are asserting.  In fact, it's the opposite --- the two are close and Tepper wants Cam to be part of the solution going forward.

If he gets healthy he will play for the Carolina Football Panthers.

If he doesn't he'll go run his cigar bar in Atlanta.

Let’s go bois 

[Mage]

The situation has been clear from the beginning 

Panthers want a healthy Cam starting for at least one more year.  Panthers know Cam’s health is an issue.  Thus the Panthers will listen to a good trade offer knowing they aren’t likely to make it past a year.  

Panthers aren’t cutting Cam and they aren’t trading him for just any offer. Cam will be on this team or we are gonna get a package for him that we deem acceptable.

What are said "factors"?

Would you list them for us?

Imagine a healthy Cam with Lincoln Riley

Quoted from that link...

That’s an obvious position to take at this point; the best leverage when it comes to trade talks is the ability to say to a potential partner, “We’ll just keep him.” The moment it becomes a foregone conclusion that the player will be gone, the price bottoms out.

In March, when everyone knew that the Steelers and Antonio Brown were careening toward a divorce, the Steelers still were trying to sell the idea that the storm could blow over and Brown could stay.

...

Of course, it’s also important to consider what Newton wants. If he wants a fresh start, he’s more likely to get one.
