Newton, Panthers in no rush to talk contract

Published

on

The Carolina Panthers and quarterback Cam Newton have not had contract talks since the summer and none are planned, according to CBS Sports.

When the two sides had discussions in the offseason, Newton reportedly told the team he did not want a contract structure similar to the deals given to Cincinnati Bengals’ Andy Dalton and San Francisco 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick.

Those contracts included smaller signing bonuses and upfront money to give the teams more financial flexibility for the salary cap.

Newton is seeking a long-term deal that would guarantee him more than $50 million.

Newton is signed through 2015. The team is in no hurry to get a deal done and Newton may wait until Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has his contract restructured before proceeding.
