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.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
