Cam Newton is still on Carolina’s radar for a potential return to the franchise. Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer appeared on ProFootballTalk and explicitly stated that the possibility of Newton joining the team once again is attainable.
Fitterer and the free agent quarterback were both at Kentucky Derby. The two were texting throughout the race and he said the “lines of communication” are open between him and Newton.
“I know Coach Rhule has spoken with him,” Fitterer said. “We are going to have a discussion at some point but we’re just not quite there yet, but we’ll see how it goes. …He’s a leader, he’s a team first-guy, he’s a competitor… so we have no problem bringing him in.”
