Cam Newton hints at NFL return after Drew Brees discussion

Cam Newton expressed belief in his ability to compete in the NFL during a recent podcast, following reports that Drew Brees considered a return for the Broncos. Newton, who last played in 2021, highlighted the trend of teams turning to older quarterbacks like Brees and Philip Rivers over younger options. Despite his competitive spirit, he later stated he would not actually return to the NFL if approached by a team, indicating frustration over the lack of interest since his career ended. Brees, who retired after the 2020 season, revealed he recently tested his arm and found it unable to meet NFL standards.
