Via Bleacher Report:

What one Panthers team source said Sunday after they beat Tampa Bay 37-26 was this: “No one really saw this coming, and now it’s a tough decision.”

One AFC general manager tells me he believes the trade market for Newton would be robust, and maybe as many as 10 teams would be interested. The concern teams have, this GM said, is Newton’s health.

There are other teams, however, that think Newton has little left. Front-office personnel for these teams also believe that the Panthers privately think this as well.

Not giving Cam Newton, a former league MVP, the opportunity to prove he can still play would be a mistake.  Trading him without giving him that opportunity would be an even bigger mistake.
