Cam Newton is not his 2015 MVP self anymore, but the three-time Pro Bowler says there's another reason why he's still a free agent.

Over the years, Newton has grown out his hair for dreadlocks, and he suggests that's a reason why he remained unsigned throughout the 2022 season and is still looking for a job.

"It’s been hindered. And I’m not changin’," he said on Josina Anderson's "Undefined" podcast.


quote:

"People have hinted towards to say like, ‘Cam, we want you to go back to the 2015 clean-cut Cam. But that was a different me. Right now, where I’m at, it’s about embracing who I am."

Can you imagine how big his helmet would have to be to fit all that inside of it? He'd look like the Braves homer hat out there.

I'm sure it's this and not his completely trashed throwing shoulder.

which is a backup QB at best, and not even a good one. thats the reality he doesnt want to face, so its racism, not his lack of talent

If Disney does a live action The Simpsons movie, they have their Sideshow Bob lined up.

And here I was thinking the reason he’s not on a NFL roster is because his shoulder is fricked and he can’t throw anymore.

This is definitely it. There aren’t any players in the NFL with dreads

Screw Cam Newton. So sick of this mentality. He was a starter in the NFL for a long time. He isn't as good now. It happens regardless of hair. No one and I mean no one cares how he wears his hair or what he looks like. People want to win first and foremost.

I agree, he should change them up a little.
