Mike Florio: Panthers seem to be poised to try to trade Cam Newton

[TheSpecialJuan]

Monday’s leak that the Panthers expect quarterback Cam Newton to pass a physical in March is less about Newton playing for the Panthers than it is about the Panthers possibly trading him to someone else.

From Carolina’s perspective, Newton getting healthy in March is meaningless, if they play to keep him. The offseason program doesn’t begin until April; it doesn’t matter if he’s healthy in March.

It does matter if he’s healthy in March, however, if the Panthers hope to trade him at the start of the league year. And it does matter that the team leaked that they expect Newton to pass a physical in March, in order to send a message to any and all interested teams that Newton is available.

Teams currently are making their plans when if comes to the coming crop of free-agent quarterbacks. Those teams need to know that Newton is in play. Monday’s leak does just that.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

[countryboi]

call me when he gets traded. this is the same we not sure maybe he gets traded poo we been hearing all off season.

Every damn reporter that covers the NFL and/or the panthers are now saying this.  Right or wrong, Cam is done in carolina.  Just crappy timing all around

[joeyxfresco]

I hope Cam balls out wherever he goes. This organization needs a reality check on the dysfunction that’s been going on.

I'm over the speculation. All I know for sure is this is a move that will either end with David Tepper being beloved or despised. We have to absolutely knock it out of the park the next few years in the draft and free agency.

Dysfunction?  They dont have a choice

It seems like it's going to be tricky actually trading Cam. I think we will probably just cut him outright.

This is why I totally think he has kept marty on all this time.  Trot him out to be the face man of cutting cam and then slit his throat.   Tepper is shrewd.

Media could you PLEASE find some other hot topic to repeat, other than Cam Newton maybe traded, you SCUM!!

[The Lobo]

Welp it was a fun ride Cam. I hope he dominates with his new team. Hopefully we can recover and be great again. 

[davos]

He's going to Vegas.  A friend (who's unfortunately a Falcons fan) told me last year and I laughed at him.  Now I'm convinced he's Jon Edward.

It could mean that. It might not. We’ll see. 

 

 

 

I mean, that’s all he needed to write.
