Is there anybody else besides myself who thinks he doesn't end up with Washington when all is said and done?

Seems like Ron might give him another chance as they have worked it the past. I know they didn't seem like the best of friends during the end, but I believe Ron has a soft spot for Cam in his heart and will give him another shot.

I would say that if Ron doesn't even have him in for an interview you can infer that even Ron doesn't think Cam is worth investing in.  That would be a sad day indeed as it would signal the front offices believe Newton is done in the NFL.

It's just a calamity of bad timing on a lot of fronts. I feel like he has been given poor advice and all parties have  made poor decisions. I still don't understand why Cam waited so long to have surgery. If he had it sooner a lot of these timing issues would not have come into play. Both him and the Panthers would have been able to make better decisions. It is never a good breakup but with his health unknown it created more issues. We all see it is a business and tough choices are made. The front office doesn't have to communicate anything but it would have been a lot better for them to have been more transparent about the decisions. No one is winning with the final results

He was a great player when he had his running game. He is not a great player when forced to be a pocket passer. That much is a given.

If Rivera doesn't think Newton is worth investing in, he might want to review his whole time at Carolina and how he managed Newton.

Possibly some player will decline to play for the Panthers because they are mad and feel Cam was treated unfairly.

I've not seen any evidence of that but it's surely possible.

Personally I believe it will be a complete non-factor.  Could be wrong, time will tell.  @Delhomme2Muhammad

No agent in their right mind would ever advise that.

I could see Ron signing Cam for one year so Haskins can sit and learn.

I doubt Cam signs for a year.  Its going to be something like 3 years 30ish million.

Lots of thoughts out there about Cam's value being tanked, etc...

The NFL labor market it pretty darn efficient, and transparent too. 

Time and time again teams have proven they will do almost anything to get a talented (high value) player onto the field.  Look at all the trouble Pacman Jones caused yet he played in the league every year from 2005 to 2018.

Time and time again Pacman proved he was the opposite kind of person one would like to have as a face of the franchise, consistently did everything he could to tank his own value,  yet the cutthroat and desperate-to-win nature of the NFL is such that Pacman always found a port to dock his boat.

The NFL labor market will determine Cam's value independent of anything the Panthers do (or did).

What on Earth does Pacman Jones have to do with Cam Newton? #1 has never had any off the field legal troubles ever.

This place is crawling with racist idiots.

It's been like this since we drafted Cam. You know it's bad when people in the media say your fanbase is racist.
