Cam Newton didn’t get an opportunity in 2022 to play. He was unable to continue with the Panthers after the 2021 season, so they decided to cut him and search for other options to replace who took them to the Super Bowl 50.
Newton, 34, wants to play. There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding him as he didn’t play last year. The 2015 NFL MVP even practiced for some teams recently, but they didn’t offer him a deal, so he had to explore other options outside the league.
According to ESPN’s Rodger Wyland, Cam Newton has received an offer from the Albany Empire of Arena Football to play this upcoming season. Antonio Brown, former Buccaneers receiver, is the co-owner of the team, and he will suit up to play for it on May 27th.
