Cam Newton continues to alienate himself from another NFL opportunity

Cam Newton is doing destructive things for an NFL comeback, but, on the flip side, he is also setting his podcast/influencer career up nicely, with his continued controversial remarks. Newton's latest comments had to do with wanting more kids but not wanting marriage; something that appeals to virtually no one and is as black-pilling as a statement one can hear another say.

It's been a sad offseason in many ways for Newton, who seemingly declared he was retired back in February when he said he was no longer a football player, but a YouTuber. He's slowly come to the realization that the door may be shut and the pomp and pageantry were missing from his final days in the sport back in 2021 playing for the team that took him No. 1 overall in 2011, the Carolina Panthers.

Another thing Newton realized was that the Panthers regime that initially gave him a chance, Ron Rivera's, snubbed him in 2020 when he was a free agent. The Washington Football Team passed on Newton in free agency, and he ended up having a contentious season with Bill Belichick's Patriots during the first year A.T.B. (after Tom Brady) in Foxborough.

Newton admitted the snub messed with him. He didn't use family-friendly phrasing with that message, though.

"I don’t know. It hurt me, though," Newton said (h/t Cat Crave). "I said at the bare minimum, ‘Washington would come f—k with me.’ And it wasn’t just Ron Rivera. It was Marty Hurney. It was Ryan Vermillion. Everybody. It was the Panthers reincarnated in Washington. So to not get no call, like, I don’t know why. But I don’t know. Whether I was hurt or whatever, it f–ked with me, though. … You got this coach— a Coach of the Year, who got there not just on his own but with your help. We started the 2013 season 1-3 and finished 12-4. Coach of the Year? Of course. You’ve been through the struggle with him. And then, to not get a call? It was one of those situations where I was like, ‘Okay. I see what’s happening here.'"

Cam Newton too outspoken for NFL front offices

Newton is establishing himself as a force in podcasting at the expense of his NFL prospects. If he is truly retired, he's probably at peace with the direction he's headed in PR-wise.

If he still has the itch to come back, it may take a season in the UFL, with accompanying goodwill and the end of his patented molten hot takes on life, to facilitate one last go in the NFL.
