Report: Panthers owner not sold on Newton

[Mooche]

Although signs continue to point to the Panthers selecting Cam Newton at No. 1 overall, CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman reports owner Jerry Richardson isn't "completely sold" on the Auburn quarterback.
Richardson is expected to defer to the men he pays to make these decisions, however, and the personnel staff "likes" Newton. The Panthers are also "enamored" with A.J. Green, and sources Freeman trusts insist the team would like to trade down and grab the draft's best receiver if possible. It's going to be awfully difficult for Carolina to trade out, as the top of the draft lacks a consensus No. 1 prospect.

Dun dun dunnnnn. The drama continues with the first overall pick.

I'm not surprised.
I wonder who they'd trade with.
I have heard rumors Tennessee is trying to trade up to 2, so 1 could also be an option.

Meh not sure if I was even sold on them picking Cam to begin with

Oh well, they've got time to reconsider if they need

This could be smoke guys..

Why would the team with the 1st overall pick wanna make a smoke screen? Ain't like somebody else is going to have a shot at him if they actually like him

This.

Plus, it keeps all options open if they wanna move actually out of the spot.
