Cam Newton has been the franchise quarterback for the Carolina Panthers since they selected him with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2011 NFL draft, but the team may move him this offseason.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com suggested the Panthers are "probably headed toward much more of a rebuild than we first realized when they hired head coach Matt Rhule" and will "likely" explore trading Newton as a result.
Rapoport did note much of the potential trade talk will hinge on Newton's health and how his surgically repaired foot responds as the offseason continues.
