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?

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
