Panthers Have Discussed Re-Signing Cam Newton
3 years agoCarolina 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.
