Former MVP Quarterback Hints At NFL Return With Bill Belichick (VIDEO)
Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton caused a stir recently by outlining the difference between game changers and game managers at the position.
This week, he is causing another stir but it has to do with his NFL career.
FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS – JANUARY 11: Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots speaks to the media during a press conference at Gillette Stadium on January 11, 2024 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Belichick announced he is stepping down as head coach after 24 seasons with the team.

While it’s been essentially two full seasons since the former league MVP has been on an NFL roster, he’s always left the door open and that door is wide open now after his latest comments.
On “Good Morning Football,” Newton said he would be open to returning to the NFL under one condition — he play with the Falcons.
Former wide receiver Brandon Marshall asked Newton to give his top three teams he would want to play for, but Cam stated it was only for one team.

That’s when Marshall started singing while bringing up Bill Belichick’s name since he has interviewed for the job. Cam started singing with him leading to the belief he would play for him again should he get the job.
Atlanta is likely going to be searching for a new quarterback in 2023. But chances are, even if Belichick does get the job, Newton won’t be under center.
Newton played under Belichick during the 2020 season. In his only season for the Patriots, Newton accumulated 2,657 passing yards with just eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
He also added an additional 592 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.
Belichick has already interviewed twice for the Falcons job.
