I may be in the wrong here, but isn't Cam still under contract for one more year? We don't have to cut him.

He's under contract for the coming season. Now, so is Teddy Bridgewater.

No way in hell the team is keeping two 20 million dollar quarterbacks.

Come on. Don't tell me you can't say for certain it's past this team even if it should be? The team that brought Hurney back for another losing round? Or kept 2 kickers on the opening day rosters in hope to trade the future pro-bowler on a rookie contract and yet still went with the washed up expensive old guy over said pro-bowler? The one that convinced Luke to retire instead of rejoining us purgatory?

More like, after this past 48 hours there is no way in hell Cam is coming back and even if that is the right decision for the team it now will be out of their hands and it will probably collapses into zero value for said team?

Cam is going to have a tough call to make coming up soon.

Do I want money and security, or do I want to do anything to get my career back on track?

I can't speak for Cam Newton, but if I were in his inner circle, I would be telling him to not worry about the money, let's go try to win, show the world, revive my once great career.....but I'm not.

But, if I were Cam, I would be heading to New England.  I'd take a team friendly 2 year deal, and I would give it my very best shot.  At least if I were done...I would know that I had given it my best shot at being a winner at the end.  Not trying to spend the mans money, but that's what I would personally do.

I can't image Belichick taking someone who is over 30, injury history and more importantly fundamentally unsound as a passer as Cam. Talent along has never been enough in NE. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Fans tend to have overinflated views of their own players no matter who they are.

Cam was ridiculed for his passing 2013-2015. Many don't believe that Cam AFTER a shoulder surgery is suddenly going to become an amazing passer.

Cam without his running game is an average backup at best. Norv Turner tried to experiment with making him a pocket passer and it didn't work out. 

Look at Deshaun Watson, solid passer and he still gets ridiculed for it. Cam's legs have always been such a threat, that it was hard to cover DBs at levels regular NFL qbs have to deal with because he would run it in tight coverage.

When we quit that in 2018, it went to poo and I don't see how nobody can understand that. Lamar Jackson got the respect he got because he was Cam Newton with accurate passing last year.

Yeah, I don’t either. It would be fun to watch though.

Cam’s only likely chance to play is with the Chargers or coming in mid season to take over for a hurt QB.

I don’t see Cam taking a backup spot.

Chargers appear ready to roll with Tyrod Taylor and maybe draft a QB at 6.

So which teams are the remaining options for Cam?

What are the odds he doesn't have a job when the season opens? 

He will end up being released.  We ain't getting anything for him but cap relief.

Maybe the Patriots once he is out there although they have cap issues.  Honestly don't know if the Chargers aren’t interested
