The conversation regarding former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton seems to be accumulating more opinions with every passing day. He was released by the franchise in a bitter departure in terms of timing and the signal-caller remains on the free-agent scrapheap two months on.
One person who will know more about him than any other head coach in the NFL is Ron Rivera. And the new man leading the Washington Redskins had his say on why the 2015 NFL MVP remains unsigned following his departure from the Carolina Panthers.
Speaking on Fox Sports’ Football Now with Jay Glazer, Rivera highlighted Newton’s injury concerns as arguably the most prominent factor behind the player remaining unsigned at the present moment.
