Using a timeline format, over the last 4 years, count the games during that time Cam was healthy?  Playing hurt is not healthy.   On your calculator, enter the number of games he was healthy.  Then divide the number of healthy games by the amount of money he was paid during the current contract.  In the window, convert the answer to dollars to calculate the amount we paid Cam when he was healthy per game. 

The answer to your question will appear in numeric form.

People say his contract was a bargain and he deserves and extension.  Does he?   

Oh no, I have no issue with them not wanting to extend him because of his inability to stay healthy. Mr. Scot was saying that they weren't even interested in having him at QB this year without the new contract which I found surprising.

We didn't really know that before now. Heck, up to yesterday, I figured Newton would play out 2020 and then be a free agent.

As of today, I'd say it's pretty clear the team is ready to move on, evidenced primarily by the fact that they appear to be actually doing it.

The Panthers have handled Newton poorly for pretty much his entire career.

That his exit would also be poorly-executed probably shouldn't come as a surprise.

(and here I was told that Marty Hurney always does a fantastic job letting players go gracefully and with dignity)

If you think Hurney is driving this you... are wrong. To say it nicely.

10 years from now you will probably still be in here posting about how Hurney set us back 10 years.

If you look around, you'll see I actually stated more than once today that Marty wasn't driving this. Just the opposite.

He sucks at his job, but this wasn't his call. It was David Tepper's.

I love Cam but if he wouldn't play without a extension then we have to trade him. You don't give a extension to a player who has been hurt for almost two years without seeing play at least a full season. 

I think more of this will come out over time.  If Cam’s people were angling that he wanted a new deal to play that was probably the last straw.  
For a guy that manages risk there is no way for him to anti up to a multiple year deal for Cam. 
Hate to see him go.

no way a trade is going to happen. 

Every NFL team knows the Panthers are about to cut him.   So they will wait.  Deal w/ FA Cam and owe Carolina nothing.   

Disagree.  The Panthers will find a trade partner.  Cam's contract is well below what the starting QBs are making, so that makes a team willing to take flyer on him have low risk (money-wise) if he doesn't pan out.  If they cut him, there will be a bidding war, and teams will not want to offer top dollar to a QB coming off two consecutive injuries from the last 2 seasons.  Hopefully, the draft haul will be in line with the Bills and not the Texans.

Technically, the Panthers aren't looking for a trade partner. They're leaving that up to Newton and his agent.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
