Cam Newton's Potential NFL Landing Spots

Former NFL MVP quarterback Cam Newton made headlines on Tuesday when he showed up at Auburn's Pro Day, sparking speculation that he is ready to make a comeback to the league. Newton, who was released by the New England Patriots last year, has been a free agent since then.


Although he didn't participate in the Pro Day events, Newton was seen chatting with scouts and coaches from several NFL teams, adding fuel to rumors that he is gearing up for a return to the field. Here are six potential landing spots for the former MVP quarterback:

Washington Football Team

The  Washington Football Team has been linked to Newton several times in the past, and they are currently in need of a starting quarterback after releasing Alex Smith. Head coach Ron Rivera, who coached Newton during his MVP season with the Carolina Panthers, could be interested in bringing him to Washington.

New England Patriots

 

The  patriot's experiment with Newton didn't go as planned last season, but they could be interested in giving him another shot. With quarterback Cam Newton's future in doubt and a lack of depth at the position, the Patriots could see Newton as a solid backup to whoever they bring in as their starter.


Denver Broncos

 The Broncos have been looking for a franchise quarterback since the retirement of Peyton Manning, and Newton could be the answer. With a strong defense and a promising young core of offensive players, Newton could help lead the Broncos back to playoff contention.


Chicago Bears

 The Bears have been in quarterback purgatory for several years now, and Newton could be the bridge they need to get them to their next franchise quarterback. With head coach Matt Nagy's offensive creativity and a solid defense, the Bears could be a good fit for Newton.


Houston Texans

 The Texans are in a state of chaos right now, but they could use a veteran quarterback like Newton to stabilize their offense. With the uncertain future of quarterback Deshaun Watson, Newton could provide a temporary solution until the Texans find their next franchise signal-caller.


Pittsburgh Steelers 

The Steelers' quarterback situation is currently up in the air, as Ben Roethlisberger's future with the team is in doubt. If Roethlisberger does decide to retire, Newton could step in as the starter and help guide the Steelers through a transition period.

Overall, there are several teams that could benefit from signing Cam Newton, and it will be interesting to see where he lands. Newton's size, arm strength, and experience make him an attractive option for teams looking for a starting quarterback or a solid backup.
