Cam Newton hasn’t been healthy for almost two seasons now and that’s not a good sign for a quarterback who used a physical style to be successful. It would be a mistake to think he is done though. Newton is a former top pick in the draft. He’s won an MVP. He’s made three Pro Bowls and been voted All-Pro once. He’s made it to the Super Bowl. He has everything a team would need — when he’s healthy — to lead a squad to a winning record.

Yet, there seem to be slim pickings for Newton when it comes to choosing a team. He’s not going to a team to be a backup. A lot of teams are already settled on their starter. It’s a little late in the game and any team that signs Newton will want a full physical to make sure he’s healthy. That’s a bit difficult with the current Covid-19 situation. Still, these teams could eventually be fits for Newton, and they are spots he should consider when it comes to his free agency decision making process.
