Cam Newton returned to the Panthers during the 2021 season, after the team went in another direction in 2020. Speaking to the media from the NFL scouting combine, general manager Scott Fitterer addressed where things stand with the former league MVP.
According to ESPN’s David Newton, a decision on Cam will come before free agency opens for the league on March 16. Before the team makes anything official regarding the 32-year-old former No. 1 pick, Fitterer wants to speak with him face-to-face.
“The one thing with Cam is when we sat down at Mr. [David] Tepper’s house, we always said after the season when we come close to making a decision, that we would have a discussion and we’d talk person-to-person first before we share anything,” Fitterer said.
