It's hard to find a perfect fit for Cam Newton.
Sure, we can have fun making up loopy trade scenarios—Newton for Khalil Mack straight up: Who says no?—but pairing an injured 30-year-old former MVP who has a polarizing public persona with the proper future employer is a delicate matter.
If Newton's Panthers career is really over (as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggested Sunday), he must land with another team where he fits the cap, the scheme, the culture and the expectations. That's tough because Newton is a gifted but expensive square peg who is no longer in anything close to mint condition.
