Cam Newton hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2021, but he hasn’t officially retired from the league yet. But if the former New England Patriots quarterback does return, he’s only considering one team.- I haven’t done all three yet.
Newton told Brandon Marshall when asked what his top three teams are during an appearance on “Good Morning Football.” “Now I have a family. It’s always been about family and I have no plans to leave Atlanta. I don’t want to unless it’s Atlanta.Newton lives in Atlanta and has five children. So it makes sense that you don’t want to move away from them. But what makes his selection even more interesting is his former coach Bill Belichick’s relationship with the Falcons.
Marshall reached out to Newton about meeting with Belichick, but Belichick declined to comment on the possibility.Belichick recently completed his second interview for the head coaching job in Atlanta. A recent report said the franchise search is “wide open,” while a separate report from The Athletic on Tuesday said the 71-year-old prospect has “lost at least one beat.”Newton’s time with the Patriots lasted just one season. He was drafted by New England over Mac Jones for the starting role in 2021.
The Patriots went 7-9 under Newton in 2020 and missed the playoffs.A return to the NFL does not appear to be a priority for Newton. However, it cannot be ruled out 100%. Especially when the hawk swoops down.
