The Carolina Panthers’ quarterback situation changed drastically on Tuesday night. Reports leaked out that the NFC South team had agreed to a free agent deal with QB Teddy Bridgewater, meaning that former #1 pick Cam Newton’s tenure in Carolina is nearing its end.

The divorce began to get ugly after the team reported that it had “given permission for Newton to seek a trade,” with the quarterback responding in an Instagram comment that the team had forced him into that situation.

In any case, Newton will now be available for suitors all over the league who are looking for an upgrade at the quarterback position. Let’s take a look at some of the best fits for the superstar.

Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are now looking for a new quarterback after Philip Rivers left for the Indianapolis Colts in free agency. With the team quite possibly looking to draft a quarterback like Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa in the draft, Newton could be the perfect short-term solution.

The former 1st overall pick probably can’t be counted on for an entire season of play due to his injury problems, let alone multiple seasons, but Newton would be a perfect bridge to a young quarterback in the short-term.

His presence would also allow the Chargers to compete in the short-term considering the dynamic weapons, including Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Hunter Henry. Is this the perfect fit for Newton?

Chicago Bears

The Bears have been rumored as a potential landing spot for the 30-year-old quarterback, and it’s easy to see why. Mitchell Trubisky, who was drafted 2nd overall by the team only three years ago, has underwhelmed during his first three seasons with the team.

Could Newton be the quarterback to challenge Trubisky and possibly take his starting spot, if healthy? The team went 8-8 last season, and many thought that Trubisky held them back from making the playoffs. It could be beneficial for Newton to take over, add a little more talent at the position, and lead the Bears forward for the time being.

With Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers, and Tom Brady off of the table, could this be Ryan Pace’s best option left on the table?

New England Patriots

The Patriots and Bill Belichick are still reeling from Tom Brady’s departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Could they go with another supremely talented quarterback to replace him? Newton could be a great option.

While Newton’s playstyle is totally different from Brady’s, he has shown a willingness to learn and adapt in different schemes during his time in Carolina. The possibility of playing for the NFL’s most highly-respected organization certainly wouldn’t be a disadvantage, either.

Let’s be honest: neither Cody Kessler nor Jarrett Stidham are going to start 2020 as the Patriots’ starting quarterback. Why not give Newton a shot to lead you to glory once again?

Quarterback Cam Newton’s time with Carolina Panthers has come to an end. Panthers announced on Tuesday that they have allowed Newton to seek a trade that would bring to an end his nine-year stint with the organization.

The news was confirmed by Panthers’ general manager Marty Hurney, who revealed that this was the result of a meeting he had with Newton and his camp.

“One of the distinct pleasures of my career was selecting Cam with the first pick in the 2011 draft,” said Hurney. “Every year difficult decisions are made and they are never easy. We have been working with Cam and his agent to find the best fit for him moving forward and he will always be a Carolina Panther in our hearts.”

Newton, who is recovering from a foot injury that limited him to just two games in 2019, offered a different side of the story. The 30-year-old went on social media shortly after the news broke, and said that he is “forced” into leaving the franchise.

“Stop with the word play. I never asked for it,” Newton wrote on Instagram. “There is no dodging this one. I love the Panthers to death and will always love you guys. Please do not try and play me or manipulate the narrative and act like I wanted this. You forced me into this. Love”

Following Carolina’s decision to move on from Newton, the team is now expected to pursue one of the quarterbacks available on the free-agent market. According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, Panthers will be especially aggressive trying to land former New Orleans Saints’ QB Teddy Bridgewater.  The team also has second-year QB Will Grier and last year’s starter Kyle Allen on the roster.

Cam Newton will leave Carolina as the most accomplished quarterback in the franchise’s history. During his nine-year run with Panthers, Newton led the team to a Super Bowl appearance in 2015 while winning MVP honors in the same season. He also has three Pro Bowl appearances.

Newton holds numerous Panthers’ franchise records, including most career completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.
