Former NFL League MVP Cam Newton has parted ways with the Carolina Panthers.
With everything going on, this is one of the last things I saw coming. I had no idea that there were issues going on inside of the organization to start with. But with Greg Olsen retiring and now Cam Newton leaving, it’s hard not to question the state of the Carolina Panthers right now.
On Instagram the team captioned a picture of Cam saying “We have given cam permission to seek a trade”
The superstar quickly responded saying “Stop with the word play! I never asked for it! theres no dodging this one; I love the Panthers to death and will always love you guys! Please do not try and play me or manipulate the narrative and act like I wanted this; you forced me into this. -Love”
Well thats a lot, and clearly that tells you how things are going behind closed doors at the Panthers facility. And no we know what happened next. So now the question remains.. Whats next for Cam Newton?
Where should he go?
I have two destinations that will be ideal for him. I think the Atlanta Falcons would be a solid destination for Cam. I think he would fit in well there and that they would be a solid team. Im not sure how long it would take them to be contending for an actual Super Bowl. But they could be a solid team, and I think Cam could shine there.
But the other team I think Cam should try his hand at (Just hear me out) Is the New England Patriots. They just lost Tom Brady. Which honestly wasn’t really that big of a deal because if you look at his numbers and how he’s been playing there is a considerable drop off in his numbers. But if Cam were to go to the Patriots they might have a chance of actually doing something next year. We all know that Bill Belicheck has one of the greatest minds that football has ever seen. But now he’s got his word cut out against him. His team isn’t great and right now they don’t have a quarterback that is actually going to do any significant for the team. If he could land Cam that would be a big first step. The next step would be keeping Cam healthy and getting him to play like his MVP season again.
So it all falls on Cam. If he plays at the capacity he is capable of playing, I am by no means saying they will be Super Bowl bound because they need more pieces on their roster, I think they have a very good season and probably a better season than they did last year.
So the ball is in their court. Now only time will tell where Mr. Newton ends up..
