Panthers in market for Cam Newton's eventual successor

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Carolina Panthers aren’t planning to move on from quarterback Cam Newton anytime soon, but they are in the market for a future replacement for the 2015 NFL MVP.

Coach Ron Rivera said on Thursday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis that it may be time to develop a quarterback who one day can step into the shoes of the 28-year-old Newton, who was the first pick of the 2011 draft.

Rivera mentioned selecting a quarterback in the April draft and re-signing veteran Derek Anderson, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
