ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton have reached an agreement where both sides will work together on finding a new team for the 2015 NFL MVP.
In the comments of the Panthers’ Instagram post announcing that the team had given him “permission to seek a trade,” Newton issued a response, arguing that the organization forced him into this situation.
“Stop with the word play,” he wrote. “I never asked for it. There is no dodging this one; I love the Panthers to death and will always love you guys. Please do not try and play me, or manipulate the narrative and act like I wanted this; you forced me into this.”
