Antonio Brown offers Cam Newton a National Arena League opportunity

However, all hope is not lost for Newton. And if he's willing, there could be an unlikely avenue to resurrect his professional career in the not-too-distant future.

After controversial wide receiver and Albany Empire owner Antonio Brown announced via NewsChannel 13’s Rodger Wyland that he was planning to play for the National Arena League team, attention reached levels not seen in some time. But the seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro selection also revealed that he has been in contact with Newton about joining the organization in some capacity.

Hopefully he told Antonio to shove it up his ***. Cam should still at least be a backup in the NFL. He is good enough to be a backup. If some of our other QB's the past couple years still have jobs at lest as backups then he should too.

Cam doesn't need the money so there is literally zero reason for Cam to play anywhere other than the NFL.

If that was the case, he could certainly have taken veteran minimum deals in the NFL prior to now.

The odds of this being a legit story are pretty minimal. 

I don't think he could get a starting gig in the NFL right now.  His arm is shot.  If he wanted to start, arena or xfl would probably be his only shot. That being said, I doubt Cam would actually take the job. 

I think the story could be legit in that Brown contacted Newton.

Considering how Antonio at one point was refusing to pay his players and coaching staff, it would probably be good for anyone joining that team to be independently wealthy.

Sheesh, someone needs to get Antonion Brown some serious mental health assistance.

He already said last season he would come in as a backup but IIRC he wanted to be on a contending team. It makes sense. What reason does he have to come back other than chase a ring?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
