Things do not look good right now for Cam Newton’s chances of walking back into another starting job. This could have something to do with the former Carolina Panthers star’s injury problems. But ex-teammate Greg Olsen thinks the timing of his release also played a significant part in his current predicament.
Carolina eventually decided to part ways with the 2015 NFL MVP on March 24. By this time, most of the vacant starting roles had been filled and it left Newton extremely short of options.
This might remain the case while team doctors are unable to conduct their own independent medical evaluations regarding the player’s health after foot and shoulder problems in recent seasons.
