Cam Newton is apparently planning some sort of big announcement later this week, but don’t expect him to hang up his cleats. In a video posted to Instagram, the free agent quarterback made a cryptic tease.
Newton said he’d have a video posting this Friday, in which “I have a lot of things that I need to get off my chest.” He specifically made a point to note that he isn’t walking away from the game. “This is not a retirement speech, and I have a lot of football still in me,” he says in the brief video.
Presumably, Newton is planning to reveal some details about what led to his sudden and surprising release from the Patriots last week. New England elected to make rookie Mac Jones their starter, showing Newton to the exit. There was speculation that Newton’s vaccination status may have had something to do with his release, so perhaps he’s looking to clear the air on that.
Since he sounds pretty firm on his intention to play in the NFL again, don’t expect him to say anything too explosive that will burn bridges. Since his release we haven’t heard of much known interest, only that neither the Cowboys nor Washington are likely to pursue the former MVP.
No matter what, his Friday reveal should be entertaining if nothing else…
go off I guess Cam
He’s taking his talents to South Beach.
Hell no.
XFL!
Switch positions! WR Cam
go big or go home – he’s switching sports.
He’s be fun in WWE
Tim Tebow inspired him to become a tight end
life coach maybe?
Maybe he is auditioning for the next Superman movie
Cam got cut by the Patriots so he probably identifies more with Shaft than Superman right now.
I don’t get this joke, but I really want to. Can you help me out?
It may be a play on the word “shafted.” But I’m just guessing.
“He’s a bad mother-”
“Shut your mouth!”
Wonder if it’s about his health?
Since Kay Adams turned him down at Good Morning Football, he is announcing that he will be teaming up Dez Bryant and there new NFT Company, Personal Corner.
Doesn’t he realize that if the phone’s not ringing, it may mean no one is interested … consider this an “induced retirement”.
He’s going to whine about not getting a chance like every other well past their prime athlete who can’t accept getting old.
He’s going to reveal the payment he received to go to Auburn.
No secret, that’s already been revealed, the NCAA should reveal why they didn’t hold him accountable like everyone else has been over the years.
Whats the NCAA going to do? Send him a fine in the mail? They don’t have any control over him – he isn’t one of their unpaid athletes, so good luck with that accountability
Obviously they won’t do anything now as they cleared him despite acknowledging his dad sold his services. But, they did sanction USC (and he lost his Heisman) years after his parents cashed in despite having “any control over him.”
Reggie Bush
Has been terrible at football since the Super Bowl loss. Sore loser. Unvaccinated. He’s done.
Cam Newton takes up a lot of space which is why many teams will hesitate to hire him. If he is healthy (big question), a team who loses its starting QB and has legitimate post-season aspirations will hire him though.
Announce that he’s finally willing to be a backup?
He’s getting a tutor for the playbook.
Me,me,me gets old Cam.
No ones done you a disservice.
It will be something whacky like announcing he is going to team up with LaVar Burton and create a Jeopardy knockoff.
He’s switching positions because he can’t throw the ball anymore he’s changing to WR/TE/RB
Just heard he is coming out of the Closet!!
That would explain his Wardrobe I guess
You stole what I was going to say. I don’t follow him that close so not up on his personal life. Has he had a GF? He can do what he wants just wish it would be what I want and go away silently. I hope he isn’t going to be a broadcaster there are enough bad ones.
He’s got four kids with his former long-time girlfriend, and a fifth from another woman who was born before his fourth child with his now ex-long-time girlfriend.
Oops.
He’s gonna say he is Joining the Raider’s because his dream was to play for Gruden and win a Super Bowl with him
I’m guessing he’ll be signed after week so his contract isn’t locked in as a veteran.
Week 1…
Texans?
Some reason I think cam is going to play the victim card here. Not going so far as to claim racism but will make himself out to be a victim of bad decisions by coaches.
He was garbage 3+ years ago. Arm strength is clearly gone and he can’t learn a freakin playbook apparently. Quit embarrassing yoursels Cam, hang em up
* yourself
“I have a lot of things that I need to get off my chest.”
Like shoulder pads and an NFL jersey.
Dude wants to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, it seems.
But, getting “a lot of things” off of his chest when him being a drama queen who needs attention and will be a distraction is already the single biggest impediment (among others) to getting an NFL job is not advisable, to state the obvious.
Cam is going to tutor other QBs on how to learn a team playbook?
He could team up with Ryan Leaf on how to win a locker room and do an interview.
I suspect his announcement has something to do with that strange off-site “medical appointment” that led to him “misunderstanding” the NFL’s daily COVID testing rules.
Good lord………I heard his announcement this am……….
If I was a gm with any team he would NEVER EVER get a job……What a tool. his piss poor play , weak arm and look at me mentality has no place in the NFL anymore. He can claim racism , but it’s his big mouth and weak arm that are the true problems.
You sound white & from Texas why & how did you learn to read?.
If he went to Dallas he wouldn’t see the field but I assure you he would be the second best QB in the room and Dak and those studs can use/handle the extra talent
