Breaking: Cam Newton being released today.

In an interview on WFNZ Sports Radio in Charlotte on Tuesday, Ron Rivera was asked if the Redskins were ever interested in Cam Newton and Rivera said Washington never showed interest in his former quarterback.

“We have a young football team with a young quarterback. We have a chance to establish this. Where we are right now we have made a commitment to young guys,” Rivera said.

Yea with Smitty in his prime, two first round rbs and a vastly better line. Minus Mike Shula. 

I know right. Another writer just posted that it’s ironic that we finally bring in a starting FA after years of suck for Cam only to eject him for an interception checkdown machine that’s coming off a worst injury for much more money,..

ridiculous!

I said it years ago, Cam Newton = Allen Iverson. Number 1 draft pick and was expected to carry not the team, but the entire franchise on their back with little to no help. They both almost won a championship... close... but didn't get it.

After A.I was traded, the 76ers wasn't even talked about for the next 10+ years. Will that happen to the Panthers? We'll see, but I also see the Panthers are banking on their system carrying this team. We'll see if it does. If it becomes too good, Joe Brady will probably "see" having his own team and some of these teams will do it.

You can't make big changes like this (and yes Luke is included cause I firmly believe if Ron stayed, Luke would have to) and don't have success within 3 years, a championship in 4. Panthers fans are not going to support it. I remember Cam complaining about the lack of home crowd his 1st two years. Man if this next season don't go well it's going to be brutal, I'm already expecting a weak turnout

Cam released 4 years after MVP.  When I think about this I get crazy pissed off with that Denver game to start the season.  He was brutally hit at the head and that shet is horrible.  Cam changed this league and deserves to be in the HOF.  His numbers say yes IMO.

There's definitely plenty of argument to be made that this is a good football decision.

The way it was handled and executed though? That's bullsh-t!

Yeah, sucks it ended this way, always enjoyed watching him play when it wasn't against the Falcons.

Wonder if it's possible for him to reinvent himself as a pocket passer somewhere else?

I can't lie. I'm glad this is over with.

Too much drama. Too much clinging to this fantasy of a player that isn't that player anymore. Too many holes on a team to stay the course next season, assuming there will be one. In the grand scope of things, I can't be as upset when there are more important things to be upset about.

God you would think this is a funeral with all the Cam Huggers crying in here. This is why this place has been trash for the past two years. Too many fans of a player not the team. I hope the Panthers never again make one player so special. Steve Smith was right when he left the Panthers wanted to make it all about Cam and they did. He was a great player no doubt but I'm not giving up the Panthers over Newton.
