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?

His list of teams didn't reflect that sentiment. The only serious contenders of the 9 he listed are Bills and Eagles.  It was predominantly related to personal connections.

Cam could be a stud in the xfl. Would be fun to watch. 

Really only downsides to him doing that

He's Cam Newton, he'd be expected to go out there and win MVP while leading his team to the championship easily, so even in doing so, he'd really gain nothing out of it.

If he did anything less than that, even if not his fault, teams would say he doesn't have it anymore and nobody would give him a chance.

It also would be risky for his health, you'd get some of those players wanting to make a name for themselves by putting a big hit on Cam and it could lead to some over-aggression and some bad late hits.

Cam wants to play but he's trying to avoid walking into another dumpster fire. Problem is only a dumpster fire of a team would put him on the field in 2023. He's only willing to ride the bench on a team that could can get him to a ring. Problem is these teams don't want or need a high profile backup. I imagine he's turned down offers already and that's why he came up with this oddly specific list.  

He should have done something like this (or preferably the XFL) once the calls stopped coming. Same with Kaepernick. Showing the league you've still got gas left will go much further than workouts and wish lists on social media.

I know he's said it but I honestly don't believe him. Cam is an alpha. It's just who he is. I can't see him being a happy, content backup. The guy will want to play.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
