2 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Newton getting Panthers' offense down

QB Cam Newton on his comfort level with the team's offense: “It’s one less thing I have to think about each practice as far going and getting my play, knowing what my reads are and when I’m hot and where I have to slide the lines to. So that’s a positive sign,” Newton said. Panthers RapidReports

5 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Kalil: Teammates excited about Newton's coolness

C Ryan Kalil on Cam Newton's makeup: “I think a lot of guys, media and even teammates, were curious to see how he would handle a lot that has been given to him in a very short period of time and I think he’s done well with it. He’s taken it in stride. I think he has a calm, collective cool about him that I think is inspiring and guys get excited about." Panthers RapidReports

7 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Newton's return to stadium of BCS title no big deal

Cam Newton will open his NFL career in the same stadium where he helped Auburn win a national championship earlier this year, but he brushed that off as irrelevant. "You can’t still linger with those collegiate things in your back pocket,” Newton said. “You might as well clean your pockets out, because nobody cares.” Panthers RapidReports

Awesome.

EDIT: Another one:

7 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - Newton not seeking to get on WR Smith's bad side

QB Cam Newton on WR Steve Smith always being open: “Yeah. One man on him, (it’s) ‘I’m open,’” Newton said of Smith. “Two men on him (it’s), ‘Just give me a chance.’ Three men on him it’s, ‘No matter what, throw it up and see what happens.’ Don’t ever tell Steve that he was covered or he’ll give you one of those looks. Also, you don’t want to get on his bad side.” Panthers RapidReports

:lol:

This one is hilarious... I'll add it to the OP. You can tell he already has some respect in the locker room and from Smitty if he's saying this to reporters, lol... Good stuff.

    • That new home page looking sexy and thicc
    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
