Moore said he’s stayed in touch with Newton and even worked out with him one day in Atlanta this offseason.
The Panthers then added Darnold earlier this offseason, but he’s been a letdown with 10 interceptions in his last six games while playing in front of a stadium with plenty of empty seats. Teddy Bridgewater went 4-11 as a starter last season before being traded to the Denver Broncos for a sixth-round draft pick. Meanwhile, the Panthers have struggled to find a replacement since Newton left.
CAM NEWTON PANTHERS DEAL MAC
31 after one season with the New England Patriots, with coach Bill Belichick going with rookie Mac Jones as his starting QB. He’s run for 16 touchdowns during that span. Newton is 7-16 in his last 23 starts with 20 interceptions and 17 touchdown passes.
As he said to me, he’s as healthy as he possibly could be.” … He’s healthy now and you see he’s healthy. “Cam understands that these are football decisions and football-based evaluations that you have to make. “We made a football decision at the time based on his health,” Rhule said. The move saved Carolina $19.1 million under the salary cap. Shortly after Matt Rhule was hired in 2020, the Panthers cut Newton with questions surrounding the strength of his surgically repaired shoulder and a foot injury. He’s not been able to return to that MVP level since. However, Newton struggled mightily on the game’s biggest stage and the Panthers lost 24-10 loss to Von Miller, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. He won league MVP honors in 2015 when he combined for a career-best 45 touchdowns - 35 passing and 10 rushing - and helped the Panthers go 15-1 during the regular season and reach Super Bowl 50. He also set an NFL record for most career touchdowns rushing by a quarterback during his tenure in Carolina. Newton spent nine seasons with the Panthers, throwing for 29,041 yards with 182 touchdown passes and 111 interceptions. Newton is expected to address the media on Friday. “It was more about what are we going to do now moving forward and what is Cam’s role and how can he help us and what can we do to support him.” “We had a heartfelt, sincere discussion with him and it wasn’t about anything in the past,” Fitterer said. He’s expected to join his new teammates at practice on Friday. His plan was to stay late into the night to learn the team’s playbook.

Panthers cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who grew up about 30 minutes from Charlotte and played with Newton in New England, spoke to the importance of the QB’s return to the Carolinas. Rhule wouldn’t speculate on if Newton would be the starter beyond this week, but general manager Scott Fitterer said Newton “came here to play” - and the money the Panthers invested in him for the final eight games of the season is a strong indication they plan on him being more than just a backup. Rhule isn’t sure if Newton would be active this week because he hasn’t practiced yet. Walker will still start Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals and Matt Barkley, signed off the Tennessee Titans practice squad earlier in the week, will serve as his primary backup.
