Silence from many NFL team owners is deafening

The Cam Newton era is over in Carolina, as the Panthers released the 30-year-old quarterback after nine seasons. The move became a mere formality after the Panthers made it clear last week they were moving on from Newton by giving him permission to seek a trade and then agreeing to a three-year, $63 million contract with free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater about 90 minutes later. ”Cam has meant a lot to this organization and the Carolinas,” Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said in a statement Tuesday.

After their team knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs, Buffalo fans raised more than $450K for a Lamar Jackson charity. What if this kind of thing catches on?
