3 years agoCarolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who ceded work to Sam Darnold in Week 16, used Sunday's postgame press conference to address questions surrounding his future in the NFL. "Football has been good to me," he said. "I was able to walk away unscathed. I don't want to sound like I'm retiring, but I've had some great memories." Newton claimed this wasn't his way of saying goodbye, but it certainly sounded like a player who knows their time with a team is coming to an end. The 32-year-old finished this week's game against the Buccaneers with seven completions, 61 passing yards, one interception, 42 rushing yards, and three sacks. It seems like Darnold will draw the start in Week 17, though Carolina head coach Matt Rhule has yet to confirm the situation.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
