Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton continues to remain unsigned. With the draft now in the rear view and several teams sporting new signal-callers, the chances of him finding a starting job have become slim.
Yes, Newton could be a valuable asset as a bridge to Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow. However, Newton wants to be a legitimate starter, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Being a Bridge may not suit him.
The same can be said for playing the backup/mentor role. Would the 2015 league MVP want to hold a clipboard and help, say, Dwayne Haskins to be a better quarterback.
