Bridgewater is going to try to find a starting job somewhere.  NO put a 1st round tender on Hill; he's not going anywhere and furthermore tipped their hand in doing so to who they want the heir apparent to Brees to be.

However, what relevance to the price of tea in China this has to the Panthers...well, let's just say Juan is up to his old tricks again.

I’m super excited if they think he is the next one to take over for Brees.

Journalists competing with TMZ for clicks brings you quality work like this.

There are literally no suitors who would trade for Cam right now. The only team that would make sense is the Chargers and we just made a trade with them not involving Cam.

Cam will likely be back next year imo.

It's really a no brainer since we'll need him to start by week 3.

I honestly am starting to worry. The constant rumors would've had to have been debunked. I really hope this whole debate is over, but I just can't ignore this believing this is just multiple reporters hoping to poke at the right place. 

It's pretty easy for everyone here to agree Cam was AT LEAST discussed in a trade conversation. I honestly just want this over one way or another, but this is WAY too one-sided for my taste.

@Pantherzack179812, was looking at something else and ran across a quote from Tepper where he denies any knowledge of any trade talks involving Cam.  If such trade talks had taken place, David Tepper would know.

"There has been murmurs regarding trades, as well, but when asked if teams had reached out about Newton and if he's available for trade, Tepper replied in the negative.

"I haven't heard about that," he said."

yeah, that's because it was before the period those things could be discussed.  him not being able to pass a physical has kinda put it all to rest for now.

My friend disagrees. Jk.  I have no friends.

National media is clueless about this team.

So in what world is Teddy a better QB option than Cam? 

Teddy won't be a cheap option like a rookie. He'll demand top dollar when the time comes. And are we more confident that Teddy will be healthy longer then Cam? Cam's recent injuries aren't even in the same ballpark as Teddy's. His knee was friggin destroyed. Like every friggin ligament was shredded. Cam is a workout warrior. Always has been. He'll be back gents. This isn't 1993 Friday Night Lights with Boobie's ACL. It's 2020. The only thing athlete's don't recover from now a days is concussions.

I think N.O. will do their best to figure out a way to keep Bridgewater around.

As to his health, while the injury he suffered was gruesome he's long since proven the knee is perfectly healthy.  It will probably bother him in later life but I doubt it hinders his football career at all going forward.

I'd be more concerned if he had turf toe.  From a long-term perspective a nagging injury like that can be more troublesome than total knee construction.

This is what the QB depth chart will look like when camp opens:

1.  Cam

2.  Kyle

3.  Will

You could certainly do worse than a QB that ranked 11th among all QBs last season in his 5 game stint.

I think the only way he ends up here is if Cam Newton is out the door this year in a trade, or being let walk in FA next season.

There is a lot of reason to think he could end up here. He's familiar with Brady, and the New Orleans passing scheme that Rhule himself said he wanted to model the passing game around. Teddy is young at 26 years old, and is a very intelligent QB who takes care of the ball, and has a sky high completion rating.

If you're going to sign a QB in FA there are no better options out there than Bridgewater.

Right now the hot talk is he is going to land up in Tampa, so if you're not on the Teddy train you don't have too much to worry about at the moment.

Nothing less than a 1st round pick for Cam .  If he is traded just run with Allen and tank the season for a qb next year .
