The Carolina Panthers are expected to be on the hunt for a quarterback this offseason.

They picked up Sam Darnold's fifth-year option, but that isn't expected to limit their search. 

Scot Fitterer told reporters that there is a possibility that the Panthers bring Cam Newton back for next season.

"We're still open to Cam," Fitterer said. "But again, we want to have that conversation with him directly."
