Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney announced last week that quarterback Cam Newton could seek a trade. Signing Teddy Bridgewater, Carolina made their decision – the future under Matt Rhule would be without their former No. 1 overall pick.
Once Bridgewater was on board, potential landing spots for Newton began to circulate. One team in particular became a significant possibility with former Panthers coach Ron Rivera moving north to Washington. The two began together in 2011 and an opportunity for Dwayne Haskins to learn under Newton was a nice thought.
