The Carolina Panthers released quarterback Cam Newton after nine seasons, and the 2015 NFL MVP appears determined to make a big impact where he winds up next.
Newton called himself "free and hungry" in an Instagram post that featured the 30-year-old going through an offseason workout.
The 2010 Heisman Trophy winner and NCAA champion missed all but two games last season due to a Lisfranc injury that required surgery.
That followed numerous seasons with shoulder ailments, including a partially torn rotator cuff that required surgery in March 2017 and another injury that required an arthroscopic procedure in January 2019.
