The NFL isn’t beating down Cam Newton’s door right now. The draft is over. Free agency is all but over. Offseason programs – done remotely, of course – are underway.
The 2015 league Most Valuable Player is still unsigned.
He might as well keep it that way.
Newton would be best served sitting out until demand for a veteran quarterback starter meets supply – namely, him. Accepting a low-paying backup role would limit his chances of actually playing in 2020, do little for his bank account and probably not help him in his eventual quest back to prominence.
