8. Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers

OK, I’m pulling out the crystal ball here. Newton technically won’t be a free agent until 2021. But the handwriting is on the wall for that to change. I see the Panthers cutting Newton after the season. He’s scheduled to earn $21 million next year and the Panthers can free up $19 million by releasing him. With a new coach coming in, it’s time to start over at quarterback. Newton, 30, has been injured the last two years and looks like he might be physically washed up. Still, some teams will be willing to take a shot that he can get back close to his 2015 MVP form.
