Cam Newton Sounds Highly Motivated in First Instagram Post Since Panthers Release
By Sam Dunn
Will anyone have a bigger chip on his shoulder in the 2020 NFL season than Cam Newton? The former No. 1 overall pick and league MVP suddenly needs a new gig after a famous run with the Carolina Panthers, the only team he's ever own, ended with his release Tuesday.
There was never any doubt that Newton would emerge on the market full of intent. We got confirmation of precisely that when he issued his first response on social media to his exit from Charlotte.
Free and hungry. No pity party. Just work.
The offseason is truly the time for flurries of photographs and videos depicting players working out, but this comes with extra meaning for Cam. Don't be surprised if the New England Patriots were sitting and waiting patiently to see what kind of mindset Newton would carry into the first free agency of his career.
do you guys ever think about how in 2015, Cam Newton threw for 35 touchdowns and ran for 10 more while his team went 15-1 and made the Super Bowl with Ted Ginn and Corey "Philly" Brown as their two starting receivers

All told, whoever has an opportunity to buy a little low on the former NFC champ will be licking its lips and hoping to shock the world this fall.
Until then, it's #FreeAndHungrySZN.
