Cam Newton to LA?

[Classic]

According to Pro Football Network Insider Ben Allbright, one team to keep a close eye on in the looming Cam Newton sweepstakes are the Los Angeles Chargers, should Rivers retire or move on. This ties in with a report from Tony Pauline several weeks ago where he said the Chargers would be looking to draft a quarterback in the early rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Of course, it’s likely one or the other, but the word is that the Chargers would prefer someone with experience like Newton or Marcus Mariota, rather than drafting and developing a rookie quarterback. In fact, Pauline noted in his recent mock draft that the Chargers would likely prefer a highly rated offensive tackle or cornerback if one fell to them rather than a quarterback. Acquiring Newton could free up some options for them to do just that.

This whole article sounds like a rumor. I think it's interesting though that it's not what the local beat writer said today about Rivers being back in 2020.

Funny how “they want Rivers back,” but have done absolutely nothing to make that happen. For almost an entire season.

Noooo!!!!

I see Rivers to Carolina (used to play at N. Carolina St) more than TT signing psycho Cam to L.A., see TT signing MM his wannabe project from years ago more so.

They agreed before camp that they wouldn’t discuss it anymore until the season is finished. So it’s not a surprise that they haven’t been negotiating.

Cam was a successful arm slinging QB who's gotten so battered trying to be a RB too that his arm slinging accuracy isn't what it used to be. He ain't what he used to be. He was.

Just reading this thread title makes me throw up in my mouth. Just say no to front running, sulking, injury prone divas like Cam.

Try to focus on the QB sneaks.
We already have tall, high-point receivers
for when Cam is wild high.
He has won MVP,
and, unlike Rivers,
has been to the SB.

From Philip to Cam.

Transition...Transmission...

a casting decision made for Hollywood...and Inglewood.

FWIW richpjr, Charlie Weiss considers Cam #1 FA...and he likes Tua too.

I'd WAY rather have Tua than Newton.

No way this happens!!!!

It would have to be something totally out of left field like

We fire Lynn and bring in Rivera as HC and Rivera says give me Cam

Lynn goes to be the HC in Carolina and he says give me all my former Bills/Chargers QB, give me Rivers, Tyrod, and what the hell give me Cardelle too.


LEFT FIELD ACTION

Tyrod > Mariota > Cam
