Could all the trade Cam posturing be Tepper playing hard ball vs Newton contract?

The more I think about it the more it makes sense. Trading Newton nets you absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. You trade a potentially in his prime top 10 qb who has been given 1 full year off to heal for some second day 2-3  round picks the equivalent of magic Beans to one of the "worst" second round 3rd round talent evaluaters in the league???

That doesn't make sense to me. Keeping Newton allows you at worst a bridge qb and the chance to shore up a team depleted of talent this season and not forcing a qb when the elite 2 would be gone or cost us the future to acquire. I hear all the media and "huddle elitist" chomping at the newton is gone bit. But ask yourself this does it really make sense? Is the risk worth the reward. As business savvy as tepper is I have no dout he has come to the same conclusion.

Unless we are in full tank mode no way we trade Newton for some more Hurney specials. We gonna trade him for some more Little's running around the IR? Maybe a dontae Jackson if were lucky? A Grier or two? It just doesn't make sense to anyone building a football team for the future.

I do not see it.  Here is why:  If they are hardballing Cam to keep him from asking for an extension----they simply say nothing and do not offer him an extension. Cam has made no threats of a holdout--no demands.  I have never heard him talk about money. This strategy creates animosity and angers the fan base.

The Panthers do a great job of keeping everything close to their chest. But I will tell you this, Ian Rapoport has Bus Cook's (Cam Newton's agents) cell phone. I know this from previous clients of his. So when you hear Ian Rapoport say "My understanding", "sources involved in the situation", "He would welcome a trade to the Chicago Bears from my understanding", that's Bus Cook/Team Cam leaking information to the media. It damn sure isn't Tepper or Hurney. What incentive do they have to leak? Because they want to talk contract extension.

Tepper wants to know that he's healthy before engaging in those talks. If the talks go nowhere, then trade, release or play out his deal become a possibility. 

 

This isn't really groundbreaking stuff. Agents and teams use the media for posturing all the time. Listen to Lombardi's podcast. He talks about this a lot and even said the same thing I did, about Team Cam being the source of the leaks.

If they were unwilling to discuss an extension, how would that point to wanting to keep him?

Could be a preemptive strike. Would be foolish to just assume your NOT gonna extend him no matter what he looks like before March. A savvy owner would be prepared for just such a scenario.

keep going

Sigh... the guy your making fun of is one of the more recent prevailing voices in the Panthers football community.

https://www.the4manrush.com/ aside from  having a burgeoning website and one of the more popular panther* related youtubes and podcast shows 

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXLzUjKROOD8EXT9_A6PsjA

But regardless of where the information comes from it's the knowledge you should consider not who said it. But coming for the huddle troll this is pointless.

      2025 scheduled opponents less division opponents

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      from the observer     Miami Dolphins. The Panthers will welcome one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, led by Alabama alum Tua Tagovailoa and fast-as-a-cheetah Tyreek Hill, to Bank of America Stadium in 2025. The Dolphins are 8-8 this year and are 6-2 against the Panthers all-time. *Seattle Seahawks. This home matchup marks a full-circle moment for Dave Canales, who cut his NFL teeth under Pete Carroll in Seattle. Carolina is 4-9 all-time against the Seahawks and lost the last contest in the matchup in 2023. Seattle is 9-7 heading into Week 18. *Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are perennial playoff contenders and have notched seven winning seasons the past eight years. The Panthers are 12-10 against the Rams all-time. *Buffalo Bills. This year it was the Kansas City Chiefs. This year’s Super Bowl contenders making a trip to Bank of America Stadium? Josh Allen and the Bills. The Panthers are 2-6 all-time against the Buffalo franchise. New York Giants / Cowboys. The Panthers had a home game — technically — against the Giants this year. That was in Germany, of course. And the 2025 Giants (3-13 entering Week 18) will look a lot different than the ones the Panthers faced in Munich, what with a new quarterback coming and a refurbished offense. That is, of course, if the Panthers finish last in the NFC South. If not, they face the Cowboys (7-9) New England Patriots. Panthers fans get an up-close look at their homegrown NFL quarterback when Carolina travels to Foxborough to take on the Drake Maye-led Patriots. The Pats are 3-13 entering Week 18. New York Jets. The Jets are 4-12 this year and have an existential crisis to handle this offseason — with their situations at quarterback and their head coach not exactly stable. At least for now, it feels like a compelling matchup for the Panthers on the road. San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers seem much better than 6-10. And they will likely be in 2025 — particularly if former Panther Christian McCaffreystays healthy. The Panthers are 13-9 against San Francisco all-time. Chicago Bears / Green Bay Packers. The Panthers are either playing the last-placed Bears or the second-to-last-place Packers in 2025, two very different. The mostly that emerged from Soldier Field this season focused on how much the Bears had “fleeced” the Panthers in their blockbuster trade before the 2023 season. But with Bryce Young playing well and the Bears in free fall and with a new coach incoming, that perception might be different next season. Tennessee Titans / Jaguars. The Panthers are facing either the last-place team or the second-to-last place team in the AFC South in 2025, depending on Sunday’s results. (A Titans win and a Jaguars loss could knot them at 4-13 each, but the Jags have the edge with their divisional record and would thus earn the tiebreaker.) Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers are also facing the Cardinals, who are entering Week 18 with a 7-9 record.

      Bryce Young post benching if it were a full season worth of stats.

      Losing by 14 or more will clinch the worst point differential in franchise history.

      By LelouchBritannia · Posted

      Our offense averages 18.6 points per game, good for 25th in the league this year. Not great. worst offense ever? 7.4 ppg. Over 11 points per game difference. our defense? 31 ppg. Good for 32nd (by a lot) worst defense ever? 32.5 ppg by the 2020 lions.
