It doesn’t sound like we should necessarily expect Cam Newton to find a new team anytime soon after he was released by the New England Patriots.

In an appearance on “SportsCenter” Wednesday, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported that it didn’t seem likely that Newton would attract much interest, noting that the quarterback went unsigned for three months last offseason. Darlington added that any interested teams would likely see Newton as a backup option.

“There’s not a lot of teams right now that are necessarily all that interested in bringing on Newton at all,” Darlington said.

Darlington also pointed out that Newton’s unvaccinated status could work against him, even as a backup.
