2 years agoFree-agent quarterback
Cam Newton is set to throw at Auburn's Pro Day on Tuesday. The 33-year-old appears to be attempting a come back after not playing last season. He last played with the Carolina Panthers in 2021. During that season, Newton threw for 684 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games (five starts) with Carolina. It's hard to imagine the former MVP being able to find a starting spot in the NFL right now. Possibly, he's able to find a spot as a backup, but even that is uncertain at this point.

3 years agoThe Cleveland Browns aren't expected to be interested in veteran free-agent quarterback
Cam Newton, but they have inquired about former Brown
Garrett Gilbert, who was with the team in 2019 and 2020. The Browns also aren't expected to pursue San Francisco 49ers QB
Jimmy Garoppolo. Cleveland will take four signal-callers to training camp, which begins next week, and they already have
Deshaun Watson,
Jacoby Brissett and
Joshua Dobbs on the roster. The Browns will work out
AJ McCarron and
Josh Rosen, among others, this week in an attempt to add depth to the position with a Watson suspension looming. Newton might still have something left as a rusher, but he looked washed up as a passer in his return to the Carolina Panthers in 2021.

3 years agoFree-agent quarterback
Cam Newton remains in talks with the Panthers, with Carolina reportedly "keeping the door open" regarding a potential return. However, that may not be the only team interested in the veteran's services, as the Seahawks are reportedly also entertaining the idea of signing the signal-caller. While
Geno Smith and
Drew Lock are anticipated to battle for the No. 1 spot during training camp, adding Newton to the mix could make things interesting. Nevertheless, even if the veteran somehow earns the starting job in Seattle, it's unlikely he'll draw much interest from fantasy managers, especially considering his subpar play over the last few years.

3 years agoThe Carolina Panthers continue to talk about the potential of re-signing quarterback
Cam Newton. "I think we're still having thoughts," general manager Scott Fitterer said. "We have to see how this works out here throughout the spring. I just happened to be up at the [Kentucky] Derby last weekend and Cam was up there. We're texting a little bit. The lines of communication are open." Carolina turned to Newton last year when
Sam Darnold was injured, and the former MVP was mediocre in eight games (five starts), throwing for 684 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions on 126 attempts. He ran 47 times for 230 yards and five scores. A lot will depend on what the team sees in Darnold and rookie
Matt Corral, and whether they pursue a trade for Cleveland Browns QB
Baker Mayfield.
