Rivera decided to sign his Carolina back up instead of him when he got to the WFT.

I would like to see that.

Who says you can't go home.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- "Superman," the sequel, began for the Carolina Panthers on Thursday when quarterback Cam Newton returned to the team he led to the Super Bowl in 2015 with a one-year contract.

The deal is worth up to $10 million for the remainder of the season, including $4.5 million guaranteed and a $1.5 million roster bonus, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Both were red zone touchdowns one was a run where he got flagged for screaming “I’m back”. On the next drive he threw a touchdown but Carolina is using PJ Walker mostly as their QB.

Colt McCoy is playing like crap.

Cam will always have those first two tremendous plays today.

He can still move, but there's still a question of whether he can throw the long ball. He never really showed that in New England last season and he didn't attempt any 20+ yard passes today. He prefers to dish off at close range.
