Cam Newton was having a pretty great start to his career back in the 2010s but over the last few years, he has had quite a few injuries that have taken him away from the field. As a result, the Carolina Panthers decided to release him and now, he is a free agent. Unfortunately, Newton can’t really sign with anyone as any prospective team would require an in-person physical. Of course, this is impossible right now due to travel restrictions.

Yesterday, we reported on how Newton would probably have to wait until the season starts before signing as he would probably end up replacing an injured starter. Now, Sportsline has unveiled the betting odds for Newton’s free agency landing spot and there shouldn’t be any surprises here.

The team with the best odds of landing Newton are the Jacksonville Jaguars at +250 while the Patriots are second at +300. From there, we have the Washington Redskins in third and the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks in fourth and fifth, respectively.

Options like the Seahawks and Broncos make the least amount of sense as they both have starting quarterbacks and Newton is adamant about not being a backup. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are willing to make Gardner Minshew the face of their franchise so at this point, the market is scarce for Newton.

Stay tuned for updates on this story as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Cam Newton was recently released by the Carolina Panthers and fans are extremely curious as to who he will end up signing with. The Panthers didn't release Newton because he was playing overtly bad. In fact, it has everything to do with the fact that he has been injured quite a bit over the last few seasons and that he has struggled to remain consistent with his health. Now, the Panthers are putting their trust in Teddy Bridgewater while Newton looks to go somewhere else.

According to reporter Joe Person, things could be a little dicey for Newton moving forward as he can't undergo a physical due to travel restrictions. As he reports, Newton has absolutely zero interest in signing as a backup and that if he can't get a quarterback job before the season starts, he will hold out and wait for someone to get injured. This strategy could, in turn, lead to a bigger payday.

For many years, Cam Newton was considered to be one of the best and most dynamic quarterbacks in the entire NFL thanks to his passing ability, as well as his skill set when running the ball. Unfortunately, injuries have been the bane of his existence over the past couple of years and as a result, the Panthers released him from the squad. Now, Newton is looking for a new team but it doesn't seem like there are any real suitors right now.

One of the teams that had been discussed over the last little while was the New England Patriots, who recently lost Tom Brady to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In fact, the Patriots seem like the perfect destination for a QB like Newton although according to reporter Jeff Howe, the Patriots simply aren't interested.

Christian McCaffrey had a dominant 2019 campaign with the Carolina Panthers and was certainly a candidate for the MVP trophy. Had the Panthers been a playoff team, McCaffrey's MVP case would certainly have been bolstered quite a bit. Regardless, the Panthers superstar is considered by many to be the best running back in the NFL and now, he is about to be paid like it.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, McCaffrey was just signed to a four-year contract extension worth upwards of $16 million per season. This makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, surpassing Ezekiel Elliott who broke the record with his contract, last season.

Cam Newton was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL just a few years ago although due to injuries, he has been having problems keeping up with his former self. Because of his propensity for getting injured, Newton was released by the Carolina Panthers and is now a free agent. Prospective teams would want him to do a physical before signing a deal although with the Coronavirus going around, Newton is in a state of purgatory. 

In light of everything that has happened, Newton went on IG Live where he spoke to NBA star Chris Paul about everything that has gone on this last month. Newton admits that he feels like a "fish out of water" and that the Panthers are the only thing he knows. Regardless, he is committed to getting back on the field.

Cam Newton has a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP under his belt yet the quarterback continues to get disrespected at every turn. Sure, there are definitely some real criticisms you can point to when talking about Newton although most hacks would rather talk about attitude problems that don’t actually exist. Realistically, Newton is a great leader who has won at almost every single level. Unfortunately, injuries have hindered his ability to run and keep up with his accuracy. Because of these issues, the Carolina Panthers decided to release Newton and turn him into a free agent.

It’s obvious that Newton never wanted this to happen and that he is ultimately heartbroken by the decision. In fact, Newton got on Instagram with some intense workout videos. In one of the clips, Newton says “they gave up on me” while also saying the team “forced me into this.”

Now, Newton will join a free agent QB class that includes the likes of Jameis Winston. Newton should be in high demand especially when you consider how he is better than most of the quarterbacks in the league. Hopefully, he will find a new NFL home sooner than later.

Let us know in the comments below who you think should scoop up Newton this offseason.

Five years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine Cam Newton on a team not named the Carolina Panthers. He won an MVP trophy and led the team to a Super Bowl after going 15-1 in the regular season. While he never actually won the championship, he was still considered to be a legend of the franchise. Well, injuries have derailed his career over the past couple of seasons and now, he is looking forward to a career in another jersey.

Reports from last week suggested that Newton would be traded but it appears as though no one wants to make a deal. In light of this, Newton will be released by the Panthers and once this happens, he will become a free agent who can sign wherever he pleases.

NFL free agency has provided us with a ton of movement in the form of trades and free agent signings. Players throughout the league are changing teams at a rate that we have never really seen before. This is especially true when we think of quarterbacks. QBs typically spend their entire careers with one team but now, this is simply not the case. For now, it looks like Cam Newton will be traded out of Carolina but today, it was his backup who got placed on the shipping container.

Yes, that's right, Kyle Allen has been traded to the Washington Redskins, of all teams. The Redskins have rookie Dwayne Haskins although now, it looks like they aren't sure as to who they want to be their starter. According to ESPN reporter Jordan Schultz, the Redskins gave up a fifth-round pick in the deal.

Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers haven't exactly been on the best of terms lately. The quarterback and former MVP has experienced numerous injuries over the past couple of years and the Panthers have grown increasingly impatient over the last little while. With this in mind, it wasn't surprising when yesterday it was revealed that the Panthers would be exploring a trade for Newton and that if that doesn't work, they may just release him into the open market.

According to NFL reporter Jonathan Jones, the Chicago Bears are heavily interested in Newton and are in talks to get a deal done before the quarterback is released. The Bears would rather not compete with teams on the free agent market which makes a potential trade a pressing issue for both sides.

Carolina Panthers General Manager Marty Hurney issued a statement on Tuesday morning confirming that the team is actively looking to trade veteran quarterback Cam Newton. Newton has since denied that he ever demanded to be traded but the fact remains, the two sides will be parting ways after a nine-year marriage.

And it didn't take long for the Panthers to find their replacement quarterback, as the team has reportedly reached a three-year deal with Teddy Bridgewater. According to reports, the contract is worth roughly $20 million annually.
