The situation with Newton is a WTF deal. I can see Carolina asking him to do a restructure salary due to injuries the last 2 seasons and GM keeping Kyle Allen around. I mean as much as Allen has struggled , we have to understand he hasn't started much and a lot of losses were close ones. Plus he has a great team friendly contract so keeping him around is pretty good.
Newton's health deal though is a BIG issue. If healthy he's a guy who can run and throw. But as we saw briefly this year he was hobbled badly.
