PARIS, France (WPVI) -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was turned down when he offered a passenger on his flight $1,500 to switch seats, according to Storyful.
Witnesses on the plane said the 6-foot-5-inch star athlete wanted a little more leg room for the long flight from Paris to the U.S.
