On Tuesday the Carolina Panthers shut down their starting quarterback Cam Newton leading to speculation of his future availability but the Miami Dolphins are in pretty good shape without him.
Newton is dealing with a foot injury that has sidelined him since the 2nd week of the Panthers season. However, there is growing speculation that the Panthers are ready to move on from their one-time franchise quarterback.
Naturally, when you put a top quarterback on the market, teams without a quarterback are going to be mentioned. The Miami Dolphins are no different. Speculation began almost immediately after the IR designation was placed on Newton.
