Cam deserved so much more than this

Did he get vaccinated? No? Then no, he didn't.

Refusing to get a shot in the arm and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

As far as prospective teams go, I think Houston is probably his best bet. 

Great point. Houston could use him.

I think Steelers make most sense if they cut Haskins who looks like garbage

I think he ends up with the Steelers (probably the best spot for him) b/c he will have a chance next year if Ben retires

Or the Texans will sign him since Tyrod is going to be their starting QB as of now.  BTW we play them Week 3

Wow this is shocking.

I’ll always be a fan of Cam, but if he got cut because he’s not vaccinated, then he caused this on himself.

I'm surprised by this move. However, it highlights some real discrepancies between how good our fans see him vs how others see him. Two franchises cut him instead of trading him. He took relatively very small contracts to get on a team. He fairly good this preseason but that's now what other's see.

 

I think most of the Huddle realizes he's done, just a few people in denial left over.

It also highlights the liability of being unvaccinated in the NFL right now. Had Cam not had that recent COVID "misunderstanding" he's probably the week one starter. Instead, the Pats got a glimpse into the future of what having a QB unvaccinated this season is going to lead to and decided to clarify their QB situation. I don't blame them. It's hard to find a bigger Cam fan than me but this is 100% his fault.

If I was Cam, I would retire before playing on that horrible team

It means nobody wants him or they would have been calling the Pats to inquire.

Cam Newton was done the moment TJ Watt destroyed his shoulder, sprinkle in a little Rivera rolling Cam out when he was injured just to save his job.

I wish Cam would just announce his retirement.  Hate to see the ending get worse and worse. 

forget Houston.  Cam's ego and career has already taken a big hit......he would just get murdered in Houston.   He went to NE to prove everyone wrong.  That opportunity doesn't exist in Hou.

I think you're right, although he would have been on a very short leash.  I think Mac was going to start at some point but Cam would have at least been the backup.  Now he's out of a job.

I'm going with Newton brand entrepreneur/influencer/whatever his shtick is full-time.  Long shot Houston

I was thinking he was primed for a good season. Ultimately I honestly think one thing really caused this.

If you had as many kids as Cam, you would keep on getting those checks.

Man, how does he NOT end up in Washington? I can’t really see any other scenario right now. I’d actually like to see him play with Ron again and a stellar D
