Cam Newton open to backing up Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen

I bet Oliver would be a little more motivated during pass rushing drills...

Great point!

[Lieutenant Aldo Raine]

How long before @C.Biscuit97 chimes in and claims Cam Newton is better than 99% of all current back-up QBs and could push Josh as the starter!

[Mister Defense]

I think this could work out very well if Newton did it on a volunteer basis only.  Or, no more than $100 per start.

 

These would be fair compensation for someone with Newton's talent and ability.

I did notice Cam said nothing about money, nothing

Watching the tweet is hilarious, I am hooked

[ColoradoBills]

Um....no.  I have a bit of faith the Kyle Allen can be coached up to become a long term backup for Josh and the Bills.

[DCofNC]

You guy are insane.  He’s a former league MVP and at very least can keep you remotely competitive in a game if he has to come in.  To think he’s not a MASSIVE upgrade over Kyle Allen is a joke. 
 

He’s a big personality, not saying he wouldn’t be a problem at some point, but pure talent, HELL Yes to him.  I like Kyle Allen, he’s flashed enough to have a job in the NFL, but I’d rather never see him on the field for the Bills.  Hopefully JA stays healthy all year, but I’d feel way better about Newton, than KA and it’s not close.

[Walking Tall]

No. I’d rather have Nathan Peterman and I’m not even kidding.

Cam Newton is shot as an NFL QB.  He is not a MASSIVE upgrade over anyone.  No team wanted him last year and no team will sign him this year.

[Nextmanup]

No thanks, Cam.

Another example of Twitter suicide, should have said I am willing to be signed to a practice squad then compete for a backup role

But no, couldn't do that...

It's never a good Idea to set conditions when there is little to no interest anyway.

His agent needs to sit him down and have a long chat about reality ..

Totally disagree. When considering employment people are free to set whatever conditions they deem appropriate. In Cam Newton’s case there isn’t even an argument to be made as to why he shouldn’t set whatever conditions he wants. He has made $133.5M from his football contracts - plus whatever he made from advertising, etc. A last, near league minimum contract isn’t something he needs financially, so why should he go to a team/coach/situation where he will be unhappy?

Because he is outside looking in, didn't even play last year.  He is not even a luke warm commodity

You know, like the long chat we've all had about Hopkins.

His arm was shot when he played for NE in 2020.  He was a complete embarrassment in his 0-5 record back in Carolina in 2021.

 

The Bills don't need an old broken down QB in camp.  What good would that be?  In 2023, Kyle Allen is a better QB than Cam Newton.

How is his arm doing? Becuase he didnt play last year and the prior two seasons we saw throws like this.

 

 

I'm not sure high on Kyle Allen, but Newton is not a good option either 

[Don Otreply]

Cam Newton…, Bwahahahahahah…

 

 

[Fleezoid]

Why did he pick certain players he's willing to back-up. It's a back-up position. You're on the bench or sidelines. I don't get it.

 

The more I think of it, It's actually a little creepy.
