Since leaving the NFL, former quarterback Cam Newton has made a name for himself for his outspoken nature when talking about the league. Newton has a podcast because that’s what everyone does now and in an episode, he talked about Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.
Newton floated a rather interesting conspiracy theory on a recent episode that hinted at the fact Wilson’s calf injury might not be as bad as the team wants to make it seem. Newton wondered if it was simply a distraction from the transition to Fields and from what I gathered, Newton doesn’t want to play Wilson but wants to make it seem like it’s more about the injury and not Fields being better.
Not sure if we believe the calf injury is a cover or not but we do know from head coach Mike Tomlin’s history, he will have no issue keeping a healthy Wilson on the bench as long as Fields is playing well.
