Cam Newton has yet to sign a long-term contract extension with the Carolina Panthers.

"He's our guy," Ron Rivera said. "We drafted him in the first round for a reason. Everything will happen in due time."

Cincinnati's Andy Dalton and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick were drafted in 2011 like Newton.

Dalton got a six-year extension worth $115 million, while Kaepernick got a six-year deal worth $122 million.

Newton was required to sign a four-year deal with a club option for a fifth season.

The Panthers exercised that option earlier this year.

Newton is making a base salary of $3.3 million this year, but is slated to get a bump to $14.6 million in 2015
