The NFL has not been able to track down audio of the exchange between Cam Newton and referee Ed Hochuli last weekend, so the case is basically closed. That doesn’t necessarily mean Newton was lying, and one of his teammates is confident that the Panthers quarterback wouldn’t fabricate a story like that.
During an appearance on PFT Live Tuesday, tight end Greg Olsen said he has no reason to not believe Newton.
“Cam obviously made it pretty clear what he heard and there’s no reason to believe that Cam would make something up,” Olsen said.
