The business of signing big named quarterbacks to mega-extensions is about to heat with Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck both rumored to break records with their next deals.
According to the Charlotte Observer — Newton and Panthers brass are set to meet to discuss his future in Carolina. Newton will get a new deal — its just a matter of how much.
The Observer is reporting that Newton is content letting Wilson and Luck’s contract negotiations play out before addressing his own.
Newton’s representatives were scheduled to meet with the Panthers on Saturday at the NFL scouting combine, according to a league source with knowledge of the meeting.
With Seattle’s Russell Wilson and Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck in line for record-breaking deals, Newton is content to let those negotiations reset the market for quarterbacks, according to two league sources.
Then, sources say, if the Panthers’ offer meets Newton’s expectations, he is interested in remaining with Carolina for the long-term.
The Colts are working on a deal with Luck worth $25 million a year, according to an ESPN report last month.
