General manager Scott Fitterer stated that the lines of communication remain open between the Panthers and Newton for a potential return. And in truth, this would be a tough watch for such a transcendent talent at the peak of his powers.

Newton’s big personality makes it difficult for any team to bring him on board as a backup option. But the NFL moves on quickly and the fact Newton is still looking for employment means most teams don’t have the same opinion. The former Auburn standout still believes he is among the top 32 quarterbacks in the league. Newton struggled to make an impact during a difficult situation and there are now concerns about whether or not the iconic signal-caller still has what it takes to be a starter. It looked like he could be the spark needed after inspiring the Panthers to a superb win at the Arizona Cardinals, who had one of the league’s best records at the time. Newton made a sensational return to the franchise midway through the 2021 season.

Talks are reportedly continuing with the Cleveland Browns regarding Baker Mayfield, Jimmy Garoppolo remains an option, and the team has also refused to rule out another go-around for Cam Newton if the situation is right for all parties. How likely is a Carolina Panthers return for quarterback Cam Newton before the team heads to Spartanburg for 2022 training camp?įor all the talk about another potential quarterback acquisition before their 2022 training camp, nothing has emerged for the Carolina Panthers so far.
