Another potential solution to the Bears’ quarterback problem emerged Tuesday morning with Panthers star Cam Newton becoming available. Carolina announced it has given him and his agents permission to seek a trade.
Newton, 30, missed most of last season with a Lisfranc fracture in his foot, but before that was one of the most dangerous offensive players in the NFL. He is three-time Pro Bowler and won the MVP in 2015, when he led the Panthers to the Super Bowl.
He played 14 games in 2018 before exiting with a right shoulder injury that required surgery and finished with 24 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, 242.
