Cam Newton has missed most of the season due to a foot injury, but Panthers owner David Tepper feels positive about the quarterback's future.
Rumors have swirled over whether Carolina will trade Newton, who will be a free agent in 2021. When asked by the MMQB's Albert Breer if Newton's future will be determined by the team's next head coach, Tepper said that depends on the QB's health.
"Cam's future is going to largely be up to how good he feels," Tepper said. "That's first. It's actually an interesting question to me when there's a lot of speculation on this because there should be no speculation on Cam one way or the other.
