Team having hard time trading Cam, won't carry both QB's

No doubt, I will still watch from afar because it's still the home team, but my days of being a fan and watching every game is over. Good luck for the future.

You were never a fan. Stop calling yourself one. You are a Cam Newton fan and thats it. Real fans pull for the Panthers regardless. Go back to the Cowboys

If teams won't offer a 7th rounder for a former MVP, he isn't going to get that great of a deal in the open market.

Teams panic and give way too much for a QB they want bad all the time (Tribusky, Bradford to Minnesota etc)

If teams don't offer anything for him, the Panthers are going to release him.

It might sound harsh, but at that point whether he gets a good deal or not really isn't their concern.

Well Cam was on the team so technically I was a fan. I still have love for TD/Luke/Peppers/Smitty btw.

Everybody saw this coming new ownership the 15 squad all leaving. Can't blame me for jumping ship.

Then you are a bandwagon fan. Only jumping on when team gets star players. Again, you...are...not...a....true..fan

Breer talks about the situation...

AFC GM 1: One thing to think about is free agency is now done for a while. Big business out of the way and because physicals are so hard to get and we can’t visit with players, some of these lower-end money players will have to wait.

If what this GM is saying winds up playing out, like he said, and affects the mid- and lower-end guys, then I wouldn’t be surprised if it also hits guys with extensive injury history. And that’s where I think you can say Cam Newton is having trouble.

If you’re bringing Cam Newton in, is it as your backup? At $19.1 million, and with picks going to Carolina? Or are you waiting for the Panthers to release him? Should Carolina release him yet, given the circumstance that’s killing his value? The whole thing is complicated, and it’s not hard to see why interest in him has chilled.

And that’s understandable, too. Great as Newton’s been at points, without getting a good look at his left foot or his right shoulder, and the rest of a body that’s taken a ton of punishment over the last nine years, it’d be really, really tough to go all-in on him. So lots of the lower-end players, like the GM said, are affected. So too are injured stars, like Newton and, now, ex-Broncos QB Joe Flacco.

General Managers discuss free-agency amid coronavirus concerns

At this point, the Panthers releasing Newton as soon as possible is probably the best thing for him. As mentioned previously, there are already more starting quality quarterbacks on the market than there are available starting positions. Thus, the longer the Panthers hold on to Newton, the lower his chances of landing one of those spots.

Yeah, that's not happening. Nor would it make sense for him to take it.

I agree that it doesn't make sense but 60% of $21mm beats the snot out of $0.

Cam is staring $0 squarely in the face at this point. 

(outside of the $2mm he will be owed if cut that is...which explains the delay for a cut, may as well let it play out and save the $2mm if possible)

Cam's agent has totally fumbled this one, will be very surprised if he remains part of Cam's "team".
