Carolina Panther’s QB Cam Newton is up for a new contract this season. Newton is one of the few QB’s that has been offered a contract extension before his fourth season is up. He has carried the Panthers into the playoffs last season and has turned the franchise from the laughing stock of the NFC South division into the NFC South Champions.
Newton has stated that he would want to be a Panther in the near future; “My agreement with the Panthers, it’s not something that you can just say off the top of your head,” Newton said. “My relationship with (Panthers owner and founder) Mr. (Jerry) Richardson runs deep.” Hopefully I will be able to get that long-term deal because Charlotte is a place that I can call home.”
“Charlotte will always be embedded in my heart as being the first place that I’ve had a job at, and I don’t even really call it my job,” Newton said. “And that’s why I’m so passionate about giving back to Charlotte. There’s no greater feeling how those guys come and support the Panthers, support me, support the whole team on Sundays.”
