Quote

To be sure, Newton wants to remain in Carolina. That's what he has shared with people near and far to him. He made it a point to greet Panthers owner David Tepper on Sunday when he watched the Seahawks-Panthers game from his suite.

The Panthers will either trade or keep Newton in the final year of his contract. Outright release should not be an option for Carolina. Newton stands to count $21.1 million against the cap next season, which is both manageable enough to keep him and tantalizing enough to trade for.

Complicating things is Newton's recent mid-foot surgery to his Lisfranc injury. It's the third time in two-and-a-half years that he's gone under the knife, and he's winless in his last eight injury-riddled games since 2018. What would fair trade compensation be for the former MVP? How much would Carolina want to roll the dice, again, on his health?

Part of the equation is who the new head coach will be. Tepper is shading toward a younger, offensive-minded head coach. Will that man, who will already be in a sort of arranged marriage with general manager Marty Hurney and a to-be-named assistant GM, want to also start his offseason program with an injured quarterback?

 

The truth is that no decision has been made. Tepper doesn't know yet what he's going to do at the quarterback position, though the last six weeks has made it crystal clear that Carolina won't be going into Week 1 of the 2020 season with Kyle Allen as the starter.

 

Quote

Multiple times in this hour men tell Newton how they want him to stay in Charlotte. They're telling him not to leave the city and the Panthers. Each time Newton points out he's under contract with the team for 2020. Plus, he doesn't want to leave.

 

"That's the plan. That's where I want to be. …You can't get rid of me that easily," he says.

"Listen let me tell you something," Newton says later. "In order for me to leave, they got to get rid of me."

No way we let Cam go with what we have seen from QB this year. Cam is the life blood of this organization. He changes the entire atmosphere of the organization and games. We need to give him next year to show us he is back and can return to what he was. He deserves that chance and we would be wrong to not give him that. Tepper knows Cam's marketability and work in the community and both are important factors for him

I guess we can put to bed the idea of Cam refusing to play on what people are calling "essentially a one year prove it deal" ..

Having one year left on your contract isn't even remotely the same as a one year prove it deal, by the way ..

And can we not have anymore Caserio/McDaniels/Stefanski talk .. so asinine .. Jim Harbaugh is the only clear upgrade from Rivera

What! Igo’s inside sources (HA!) and Scot’s twitter feed assholes all said Cam was gone already. 
 

If we get a ransom he’s gone, if we don’t he stays it’s not hard to figure out at all. 

Everybody agrees that Cam is "too terrible" right now to net anything but a second rounder .. the writing is on the wall, Cam is a Panther in 2020

If somebody did offer a ransom, why would we want to get rid of a QB who is worth a ransom? We wouldn't want that QB worth a ransom for our own team?

Oh I know it makes zero sense. Unless we get a haul and think we can get a QB close to Cam plus more in the draft/trade why would we ever let him go. Wasn’t me pushing that narrative.

@Snake You good my guy?

Taking things that are said when sides are negotiating at face value always turns out great.

Hahahahhhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahaha 

You take your “insiders” at face value but when it comes DIRECTLY from Cam it can’t be trusted, just fug off at this point already

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
