From Super Bowl to overhaul in 4 years: Panthers pick up the pieces That season, the Panthers made it to Super Bowl 50 but lost 24-10 to the Denver Broncos. But what happened to the Panthers wasn’t a gradual decline. They fell off a cliff, with only one winning season in the last four and a 29-35 record since Super Bowl 50.
Cam Newton's future with Panthers dependent on health, David Tepper reiterates
Newton, 30, was adamant in several radio interviews before the Kansas City Chiefs defeated San Francisco in Super Bowl LIV that he had "no worries'' that he would be back at Carolina. He said he was inspired by his conversations with Tepper and new coach Matt Rhule.
Why March is important in Panthers' evaluation of Cam Newton Medically, based on Newton's waiting three months to have the surgery after aggravating in Week 2 what was described initially as a mid-foot sprain, Dr. Daniel Farber of Penn Medicine in Philadelphia says a workout in March might be rushing the process. They could decide keeping Newton is worth the risk in a prove-it year with a $21.1 million cap hit in 2020. That’s actually somewhat of a bargain, as his 2020 salary ranks 16th among NFL quarterbacks. .

Control gives Matt Rhule shot at success with Panthers
College Football Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz resigned 13 games into his first and only season with the New York Jets, saying, “God did not put Lou Holtz on this earth to coach the pros." Nick Saban, considered by some to be the greatest college coach of all time, with six national titles, left the Miami Dolphins for Alabama after two seasons and called his four years as a defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns the worst of my life."
The Panthers picked up the 2020 option for guard Chris Reed, a league source told ESPN's Field Yates. He was claimed off waivers by Carolina in December after being released by Miami. He will add depth and competition along the offensive line. He is scheduled to make $1,425,000.
There is mutual interest between Pro Bowl cornerback Josh Norman and the Buffalo Bills in a deal, multiple sources told ESPN.com. Norman was released by Washington earlier this month. He signed a five-year, $75 million deal with the Redskins in 2016 after the Panthers rescinded his franchise tag, making him a free agent. At the time he was highest paid corner in the NFL. Bills coach Sean McDermott was Norman's coach at Carolina when he made the Pro Bowl in 2015.
Panthers coach Matt Rhule won't commit to saying Cam Newton will be his starter if he's healthy. He also said he really wants Newton to be on the team. ‘I absolutely want Cam here.''
