CAM NEWTONQB, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Speaking to the Associated Press, Panthers GM Marty Hurney "refused to answer several" questions about Cam Newton’s future with the team.

"He’s rehabbing, that’s all I can say," was as far as Hurney was willing to go on Newton's health. He then refused to address Newton's Super Bowl week assertion that he would "absolutely" be back in Carolina in 2020. Newton also said he had an "unbelievable conversation" with Hurney, coach Matt Rhule and new owner David Tepper. General managers aren't known for their expansiveness, but Hurney's complete refusal to comment is certainly noteworthy. With then new league year approaching, we will likely know Newton's Carolina future by this time next month.

In before “unreliable source.”

[LinvilleGorge]

There's zero benefit for the team to tip their hand either way at this point.

[t96]

This isn’t news.

[Jared Patterson]

I can't believe Hurney is allowed to make any decisions. Who would have thought Ron, Luke, Greg, Ryan, Davis and now possibly Cam would all be gone and Hurney would still be sticking around like a leech. It's unbelievable to me. I truly don't understand.

[RumHam]

this team is dumpster fire

[The Lobo]

Why is Hurney still here? It’s crazy he’s still allowed to make any decision. 

[jfra78]

Wow the team is keeping their mouth shut, big surprise.

/s

[TheSpecialJuan]

So much for Cam coming back.

What else is he supposed to say other than he’s rehabbing and expected to be the QB for 2020? I’d be more interested in what his thoughts are on a new contract before the season which he probably doesn’t know at this point anyway...

but it is Hurney maybe a $150 million contract in April is exactly what he’s planning

[Proudiddy]

Could be that they didn't want that public due to leverage with draft picks and potential QB-needy teams.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Nothing’s changed, he’s the qb if he’s healthy, the FO has made it clear that’s the case and won’t commit until that’s been proven
