According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Carolina Panthers intend to keep Newton and that he will, in fact, be the starting quarterback next season. After sustaining a foot injury last season, Newton is on the road to recovery and he is months away from being able to play a game. With this in mind, he is too hard to trade and the Panthers figure they are better with him on the roster.
A lot can still happen in the coming months, but as of now, the #Panthers are moving forward with Cam Newton as their starting QB, sources say. While his foot is healing well, it will be several months until it’s game-ready — a timeline that complicates any potential trade.

Newton’s recovery will be interesting to track over the next few months considering all of the injuries he has faced over the years. It seems like the Panthers are starting to lose patience and if he can’t get in shape for next year, then the Panthers will have some big decisions to make when 2021 rolls around.
