Before Thursday's preseason game - the only time they're scheduled to play this season unless (LOL) they make the Super Bowl - Newton approached Benjamin during warmups and engaged in a little chit-chat. Newton apparently wanted to discuss. Benjamin didn't appear to want to have much of a conversation. While Newton seemed initially friendly during the meeting, neither man was smiling as Benjamin started to walk away from him.
Benjamin's comments with The Athletic brought the conflict into the spotlight.
The Carolina Panthers have spent roughly the past three weeks in training camp preparing for the upcoming season.
"I mean, I felt like I would've been even more successful if ..." "If you would've put me with any other quarterback, let's be real, you know what I'm saying?"
"It was a bad fit from the get-go", Kelvin told The Athletic. Any other accurate quarterback like Rodgers or Eli Manning or Big Ben - anybody! - quarterbacks with knowledge, that know how to place a ball and give you a better chance to catch the ball. When Benjamin left Newton hanging, Newton asked for privacy and had an apparent argument with his former teammate.
Benjamin was traded last season to Buffalo after his production declined in the aftermath of an ACL injury.
