Cam Newton was upset by the lack of an invitation to Germany.
legends in Munich for the team's first trip there, several different eras were celebrated. The one glaring omission was the team's former MVP and arguably its best player. His absence was felt, most notably by the QB himself.
Cam on not being included among Panthers' legends in Germany: "I didn't even know certain opportunities even existed. So did it hurt my feelings? Yeah, it did. I'm like, damn, bro, I gave this city everything."He said on his podcast, "I didn't even know certain opportunities even existed. So did it hurt my feelings? Yeah, it did. I'm like, damn, bro, I gave this city everything." The Panthers, and the NFL media as well, posted frequently about everything.
Newton says there were no images of him anywhere in BOA Stadium - it was brought to his attention by his son. He was told “we don’t know if Cam is retired yet.”The Panthers have stated that they "don't know if Cam is retired yet" which is why they don't have any pictures of him and did not invite him to Germany. Newton has not officially filed his retirement paperwork, and there may be some validity to their excuse.
The trip to Germany may also fall under that category, though it's probably a little easier to get away with since Newton could've just been in Germany in theory. It's also worth noting that this is an extremely unique situation and we could not find a clear answer on if NFL teams can honor active players not on their team. Newton was a rare player, and he's in a very rare situation right now.
