Cam Newton feels like “fish out of water” as free agent

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton says he feels like a “fish out of a water” being a free agent for the first time in his nine-year NFL career.

Newton said during a conversation with Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul on Instagram Live on Monday that being released by the Carolina Panthers has left him with a chip on his shoulder that has “turned into family-size real quick.”

Newton didn’t give any indication where he might be interested in signing.

The 2015 league MVP played in only two games last season and is coming off surgery for a Lisfranc fracture in his foot.
