The Panthers have a new quarterback.

The deal to make Teddy Bridgewater a Panther is done, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, with the sides agreeing to a three-year, $63 million contract.

The Panthers allowed Cam Newton permission to seek a trade earlier Tuesday after they were deep in negotiations with Bridgewater’s representation.

Bridgewater has familiarity with Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady from their days together with the Saints before Brady went to LSU.

Bridgewater, 27, went 5-0 in place of Drew Brees last season, completing 67.9 percent of his passes for 1,384 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.

He is 22-12 in his career as a starter.

With the market moving, that isn’t a whole lot to spend on a QB. There are enough weapons on this offense for him to be successful. The defense however, will be the problem. Let our next QB sit behind him while we “reTOOL” our defense and we might be headed in a good direction. Not excited about parting from Cam, but I think Bridgewater outplayed Brees last year.... at least late. I think we can contend with him at QB, but only if we get a good defense going. Reserving judgement til I see what we do on the defensive side.

True. I wonder if he is the building block that Rhule will take to the next level or a bridge for a rookie QB this year or next 

More than likely a bridge to a drafted QB but a good guy to have around. Not gonna act mad and throw a hissy fit like some "grown adults" on here

Hope he does well, but I wouldnt want to be the guy replacing Cam.  He has big shoes to fill.

Technically, he may not be (hence the "bridge" talk).

The old saying goes that you don't wanna be the guy who replaces the superstar. You wanna be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced the superstar.

Whoever we end up drafting at quarterback this year or next is probably Newton's actual successor.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
