There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Cam Newton following the Carolina Panthers news regarding his release. This seems to be changing with every passing day as the player continues to weigh up his options.
It has been reported that Newton was not willing to accept a backup role with the limited starting positions available to him. This would allow the player to bide his time and wait for a possible contender that suffers an injury at quarterback to make him an offer during the season.
However, this is not the case according to Ian Rappaport of NFL Network.
