The Panthers are currently scrambling at quarterback after placing Sam Darnold on Injured Reserve. Perhaps one franchise legend could be of some assistance.
Former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is set to meet with Carolina coach Matt Rhule and owner David Tepper on Thursday, according to the Charlotte Observer's Jonathan M. Alexander. Newton is currently a free agent after being released by the Patriots in August.
Newton was selected by the Panthers with the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He spent nine seasons in Carolina, going 68–55–1.
