Sticking around? Second-string quarterback Derek Anderson knows the starting job belongs long-term to Cam Newton but that doesn't mean the veteran wants to go someplace else next season.

"I'd like to come back and continue (working with Newton and quarterbacks coach Mike Shula) because I think this team has a lot of potential. I want to be around to see it," said Anderson, who signed a one-year deal during training camp.

"As far as the offense and the guys here and overall happiness, this is a pretty good situation. I enjoy it."
