Cam Newton News
The Carolina Panthers continue to talk about the potential of re-signing quarterback Cam Newton. "I think we're still having thoughts," general manager Scott Fitterer said. "We have to see how this works out here throughout the spring. I just happened to be up at the [Kentucky] Derby last weekend and Cam was up there. We're texting a little bit. The lines of communication are open." Carolina turned to Newton last year when Sam Darnold was injured, and the former MVP was mediocre in eight games (five starts), throwing for 684 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions on 126 attempts. He ran 47 times for 230 yards and five scores. A lot will depend on what the team sees in Darnold and rookie Matt Corral, and whether they pursue a trade for Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield.
Quarterback Cam Newton does not yet have a franchise to call home for the 2022 season, but according to a text exchange with ESPN's Adam Schefter, he's fine with that. "I am waiting on the best fit as it pertains to winning a championship and getting a fair chance to play," Newton said, citing that multiple teams were interested in acquiring his services. Newton did not take the field in '21 until Week 10 when he was reunited with Carolina after injuries and below average performance forced head coach Matt Rhule's hand. Newton started five games down the stretch, with the Panthers losing all five, as the 32-year-old completed just 54.8% of his passes. It's unclear what franchises would be in the mix to assure Newton starting duties, but his running game would undoubtedly make him a favored DFS asset on occasion if he ultimately finds a gig.
Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer said that head coach Matt Rhule has talked with free-agent quarterback Cam Newton about a possible return. "It's gotta be a good fit for him. It's gotta be a good fit for us. .The door's still open for us. We'll see where it goes," Fitterer said. The Panthers continue to swing and miss in their efforts to upgrade over Sam Darnold under center for the 2022 season. Newton was signed after Darnold was injured last year, and he threw for 684 yards and four touchdowns on 126 attempts over eight games (five starts) while 47 carries for 230 yards and five TDs on the ground. The 32-year-old might not have any options left besides returning to the team that he won an MVP award with in 2015, but he wouldn't be guaranteed to start over Darnold, and that's saying a lot.
