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

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
