The issue was always that the Panthers wanted Newton to play out his final year and see what happened but Newton's side wanted an extension. In order for Newton to stay, one side or the other had to compromise.

Barring any further revelations, it sounds like Newton's side might have blinked.

Now mind you, if that's true, it'd still only guarantee the coming season, and it would constitute Newton taking a major risk on getting a future contract. If he gets injured or plays poorly, all future prospects are down the drain.

It's a win win for the panthers though. Newton plays well and stays healthy, we extend. If he doesn't, we move on. But at least we get to see

Fantastic news. There was never any real reason to get rid of Cam now rather than seeing what he can do healthy this year, unless some team came calling with multiple 1st round picks (obviously wasn’t gonna happen). Glad Cam and the team and seeing what we can do from here rather than moving on.

Seems like they've been agonizing over whether or not this is the best course of action. Short term it obviously is. I want nothing more than to see us make a run with what's left of this core, that's CMC included, but I just really hope Cam doesn't continue to take a beating back there. We have to protect him.

Yeah, unless he takes a major deal or something. Cmc is a tough situation

Holy freaking cow. Don’t want to take it as 100% but this is wonderful news

[rippadonn]

When your whole investment hinges on one guy you hire someone to follow him around. Genius. I said they should do that on this here site. I said it should be Mr. Bentley.

Panthers gonna get him nice and healthy so he will have a bounce back, vintage Cam season on the Dolphins or Bears next year.
