"In order for me to leave, they got to get rid of me." - Cam

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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
