Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

It's important to remember that these stories have two sides, and Cam is now a member of the media. I recall when he complained about not being invited to CMC's wedding, and later CMC mentioned that they hadn't spoken in years.

This board takes every negative story and points to it as if it's the issue with the Panthers.

Yea the one thing I noticed is he mentioned they said he needed to mend relationships he didn't know were broke, so I think there is a little more to it.  Hopefully they get it figured out.

I didn't read all 5 pages of responses but what I read is that Cam is still a free agent because he didn't sign his retirement papers. So taking him to Germany would be tampering. Retire and then see what happens. You can't go into the panther hall of fame if you are still eligible to play.

This seems really straightforward. But let’s not have facts get in the way of some good speculation.

And he likely knows this

He's driving clicks to his channel

Yeah I'm not so sure that constitutes tampering based off the definition.

He's also the best and most dynamic qb we've ever had. He should be allowed to be around if he wants to be

If the Panthers have any sense they'll sign Cam tomorrow

What specifically is there to tamper with if he is not under contract with any team and hasn't played in now three years? And the last team he was under contract with was us.

All of this is silly. Either the team wants him around or they don't. The onus shouldn't just be on him.  Particularly considering he is not the one who turned his back.

Ultimately it reads like the powers that be don't want to be publicly reminded of how hilariously awful they have been at piecing together any remote semblance of success since they released him. The Panthers front office don't pay anyone's bills here. We can acknowledge what's what.

It’s an absolute travesty he’s not portrayed everywhere in that building. When the common NFL fan is asked to name the best panther ever, they’re gonna name one of four guys. 
 

peppers

smith

Luke

cam

Those four guys are the legacy of the panthers history and have their fingerprints all over any semblance of relevance the region has ever had in the nfl world.

Cam's been on record multiple times publically showing displeasure with many of the moves and decision made in the Tepper era starting with Matt Rhule.

We all knew Cam's second stint was a PR stunt during a lost season to help drive some fan excitement. But Cam has stated that he was set up for failure by Tepper/Rhule when he was starting just a week after resigning w/o knowing any of the playbook. Then Joe Brady was fired midseason just as they were game planning over the bye week. Plus Sam Darnold's beef/jealousy when Cam was resigned. Cam has also stated how Tepper/front office/and coaching staff has failed regarding the development of Bryce Young.

Cam has also directly said he wanted to be Panther's president in order to help with marketing and driving fan's interest which Tepper has likely ignored. 

We all know that Tepper is the petty type specifically buying his former boss's house and demolishing it afterwards, having beef with reporters, throwing drinks at fans, etc.
