Negotiations between the Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton intensified over the weekend and the two sides are close to finalizing a contract extension that would keep the franchise quarterback with the Panthers through the 2020 season, two league sources told the Observer on Monday.

A deal that could average upwards of $20 million could be done as early as Monday, one of the sources said.

Charlotte sports radio station ESPN730, which is owned by former Panthers general manager Marty Hurney, first reported the news of Newton’s imminent contract extension.

Newton, the No. 1 overall pick in 2011, is scheduled to make $14.67 million this season after the Panthers picked up their club option for his fifth year.

Bus Cook, who along with Tony Paige and Chitta Mallik represent Newton, declined comment when reached by phone Monday.

Werd.  If Benjamin learns how to hold on to the ball (Outside the MNC Game) he's gonna' be a freak. 

Quick, besides an air pump, name two weapons at Tom Brady's disposal.  No, I said quick.  You could think of some names because they were in the Super Bowl.  But the fact is, they reload with no names every year at the skill positions. They have a QB that can distribute and an OC that knows where to put people against a particular D.  Cam has a Shula.

Gronk, Amendola and Edelman. 

But your point stands, they make a team of mostly nobodies into stars....regularly.
