Panthers Give Teddy Bridgewater $63M Deal; Cam Newton Unhappy
Many wondered what the heck the Houston Texans were thinking when they traded away DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona on Monday. And while it’s still quite appropriate to ask why they traded Hopkins, at
least we know they had some other plans in mind.
The Texans have agreed to terms on a 3-year, $27 mil- lion deal with Randall Cobb. The deal calls for Cobb to be paid $18.75 mil- lion guaranteed.

CAM NEWTON

The contract is expected to be done by the time the new league year begins Wednes- day, the source said.
That news came hours after Newton responded to the team's post on Instagram saying that he could seek a trade.
"Stop with the word play. I never asked for it," he com- mented. "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. Love."
