The Carolina Panthers are certainly not immune to moves in what has been a wild couple of days leading up to NFL free agency. Now, Carolina is set to part with Cam Newton, although it appears to only be a one sided affair.
The Panthers announced this morning they had given Newton permission to seek a trade. Newton responded, basically saying that the organization were the ones that wanted him out. In part of what he wrote, he said he didn’t want the organization to “manipulate this narrative and act like I wanted this.”
This is certainly a difficult breakup for both organization and player as Newton meant so much to the Panthers.
