Cam Newton and the Panthers are close to agreeing on a long term deal, possibly through 2020. UPDATE: Per Ian Rapoport on Twitter, the deal is expected to be for 5 years, and in excess of $100M (ESPN730 via Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
This likely high-price contract would lock down a franchise QB for Carolina, but doesn't change Cam Newton's value as a mid-round draft pick. Newton represents good value this year, as 2014 injuries and a brand new receiver crew led to down numbers for this former top-5 fantasy QB.
