Cam Newton may no longer be a Panther, but he’s ready to “roar”.
The former NFL MVP, bigger than life, has a huge chip on his shoulder after an ugly Carolina finale and several teams that passed him during free agency, and posted an emotional, expletive two-part video on Instagram on Sunday night as she anxiously walks through a small gym.
“Are you going to choose that over this?” a shirtless Newton screamed between crackles and Russian twists. “I am being modest, I will say this: now I am getting tired of being humble.
“I am really a murderer, I am really a murderer. Can you hear me? I’m getting tired of all this humble shit because when you’re humble, they start taking advantage of you. When you don’t say anything, they start taking advantage of you. ”
Newton, 31, was released from the Panthers a day after the team signed with former Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater a three-year, $ 63 million contract on March 17. The three-time Pro Bowler recently signed a modest contract with the Patriots that includes just $ 550,000 in guaranteed money after winning a whopping $ 121.4 million in his first nine seasons in the NFL. The deal comes with $ 43,750 in game incentives and has a maximum value of $ 7.5 million.
“There are not many things that money cannot buy. But among the top of that list of things, you’ll find RESPECT as one of those! He wrote in an Instagram post of the miserable contract. “It is not about money for me, it is about respect.”
The general selection n. # 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft is currently in New England and will join a Tom Brady-less QB depth chart made up of Jarrett Stidham, a 23-year-old Auburn product and veteran Brian Hoyer. If he’s healthy, the former Heisman Trophy winner, who is recovering from surgery for a Lisfranc fracture he suffered in the 2019 preseason (coincidentally against his new team), will have a great chance to win the starting role.
“Hyenas may be doing all of this, elephants may be doing all of this, giraffes, antelopes, chimpanzees, even the gorilla,” he said. “But there is a kilogram animal in the jungle and when he roars, everything stops. And I’m about to suck the roar out.
Newton claims to be healthy now, but his aggressive and physical style of play has exposed him to significant wear and tear and frightened multiple potential suitors during the quarterback free agency frenzy. In addition to the latest foot surgery, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound quarterback has dealt with injuries to his ankle, a torn rotator cuff on his shoulder that pulls and fractured ribs during his career.
