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

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

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
