Will Newton Find a Job

[Ring 6]

It appeared no other team showed any interest in either of the last 2 seasons. Are there any teams that might want to sign him? I imagine it would be for the vet minimum and as a #3, if anyone did.
He may just retire.

 

[Ryan]

It seems like one of those situations where he'll have to wait for a starter to inevitably go down with an injury.

 

[farn]

Very little interest in the past. Barring injury, can’t see interest exploding on Aug 31…

 

[Sicilian]

Maybe Houston? But if his goal is to compete for a starting role, there aren't many teams that would give him that chance as of right now.

 

[ashley]

Cowboys were the first team that came to mind.

 

[Kontradiction]

It’s more likely he will get one after a starter goes down somewhere.

 

[libra957]

He should, he's not a bad guy, he's healthy. A backup role is the easiest job.

 

[Steve102]

I am sure they tried to deal him and had no takers.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

If he wanted to be a backup wouldn’t he be here?

 

[Patriot Missile]

Washington or Dallas seem like good fits.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Not if he wants to start

 

[Rob0729]

If he wants to sign with a team, he will get a job. If he wants to sign with a team where he has a realistic shot to start, probably not.

His best shot to start again is to wait until someone gets injured and then come into a team. There is no guaranteed that is going to happen.

 

[RobertWeathers]

As a starter. No way.

As a backup. Maybe.

 

[PaulThePat]

Will he find a job? Absolutely. Probably become a talking head on ESPN or somewhere similar.

 

[ashley]

here we go:

 

[mgteich]

Newton has a guaranteed $1.5M salary (subject to offsets). Someone would need to pay him at least that. Maybe he can get $2M or more as a backup. More likely, he'll wait and hope to start when someone is injured.

 

[Nehalem]

Will he find a job? Absolutely. Probably become a talking head on ESPN or somewhere similar.

Open a haberdashery?

 

[mgcolby]

Leave it to Jerry...either way good luck to him. Not sure why he would rather go to another team and be a backup. Unless Bill didn't give him a choice?

 

[IllegalContact]

Who is Newton?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

If Ron Rivera actually liked Cam and didn’t think he was a terrible teammate, I don’t see why WFT wouldn’t want him. But I think he’s always been a headcase with a huge ego, despite knowing how to play the cameras. Teams where he could come in now as a backup competing for a starter role because QB1 has huge question marks:

-Miami
-Indianapolis
-Houston
-Washington
-Philadelphia
-New Orleans
