SOME STRONG STORMS TOMORROW. >>> WE LEARNED THE CAROLINA PANTHERS'S ORGANIZATION RELEASING QUARTERBACK CAM NEWTON. JOINING US BY PHONE RIGHT NOW WRAL SPORTS REPORTER JARED FIALKO . PRETTY SIMPLE TERMS. NOT A TRADE. THEY ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING FOR HIM BUT WILL NOT PAY HIM AND OFF HE WILL GO. >> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT. FROM ONE PERSPECTIVE IT MADE SENSE. PANTHERS SAVE $19 MILLION BY LETTING HIM GO. THOSE OF THE BUZZWORDS LOOKING AT HOW MUCH MONEY CAN BE SAVED. THEY DECLARED THEIR INTENTIONS. >> ONCE THEY DID THAT, NOT ONLY TEDDY BRIDGEWATER TO BRING HIM ON BOARD BUT ALSO DECLARED TO, LET HIM GO, IT'S HARD TO GET A DEAL DONE WITH ANYBODY AT THAT POINT. KNOWING THAT THEY WILL TURN HIM LOOSE AT SOME POINT. >> Reporter: I THINK THAT IS THE ONE THING THAT IS SURPRISING. THE GREATEST QUARTERBACK IN CAROLINA PANTHERS FRANCHISE HISTORY. THERE'S GUYS LIKE LUKE KUECHLY, JULIUS PEPPERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THE OWNER, NEW HEAD COACH. HE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH ISSUES. YOU CAN CLEARLY SENSE A DISCONNECT IN THE WORDING THAT CAME OUT WHEN THEY SAY CAM NEWTON, NUMBER ONE CLEARLY STATED HE DID NOT WANT TO TRADE. >> YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT AND WHEN YOU GET ALL THOSE FRESH BRACES FRASERS AND THE BIG BOYS SEATS UPSTAIRS, THAT'S WHAT CHANGES ON THE FIELD TOO. IT PRECIPITATES CHANGES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
