Cam Newton is not his 2015 MVP self anymore, but the three-time Pro Bowler says there's another reason why he's still a free agent.
Over the years, Newton has grown out his hair for dreadlocks, and he suggests that's a reason why he remained unsigned throughout the 2022 season and is still looking for a job.
"It’s been hindered. And I’m not changin’," he said on Josina Anderson's "Undefined" podcast.
"People have hinted towards to say like, ‘Cam, we want you to go back to the 2015 clean-cut Cam. But that was a different me. Right now, where I’m at, it’s about embracing who I am."
Get a grip Dude! You are turning your pearls into diamonds the way you clutch them. You aren't the first or only guy who has the dreads in the NFL. I seem to remember a fellow who had dreads flowing from underneath his helmet. More likely, you are a lousy player and that is why nobody wants you at the moment.
I have to wonder if he caught whiny Colin's spew about how his parents criticized his dreads as a teen and that is why he thinks he was oppressed. Would not be surprised if Newton is trying a different version for his own victim story.

There is a bunch of NFL players with dreads. I really don’t know why, seems like something a defender could yank and break your neck. If I were a player I would cut my hair short for basic sanitary and convenience reasons. This guy seems to be making up reasons to hide the fact that he’s a mediocre talent.

Had 2 years back with the Panthers and he sucked. Looking at today's players dreads are not job killers.
Maybe he and Kap can find love somewhere else.

Bruh: It AIN'T your hairstyle. Your skills have left 'the building'. Much like other running QBs, you have a limited shelf life unless you can figure out how to become a pocket passer. You've had many chances with several teams. As the great Harry Callahan said to his boss: "Your mouthwash ain't makin' it."
On the plus side, his hat-maker friend never failed to come up with a lid that brought down the house at postgame pressers.

Time to GROW UP Cam. What BS. You were great in college, but you lost your soul to sick glam in the pros. You became a weirdo freak in all aspects of your life,
Go away—from an Auburn al7m.

It's not the dreadlocks, it's the absolute refusal to "change" to help a team.

Cam Newton looks ridiculous in the picture in the article. Newton seems to be all about Newton and not being a part of a team. Coaches want team players, not smug celebrities.

Newton was a running back that played QB. The career of such a player is less that 10 years. He can no longer run, and gets injured easily. The NFL has plenty of younger QB's that can run and play QB.

Rush always said this guy was overrated. This proves Rush's point.
Get over yourself and grow up.

Shave your head and prove it then.
If it's just the hair, someone will grab him right up.
It's not the hair.

He's got plenty of money, if he wants to say it's the hair more power to him. It probably makes him feel better about getting over the hill. I wouldn't mind having his problem.

Cam had as much natural ability as anyone. Also size. But I don't think he was the quickest thinker, and never seemed to get over the showboating. Not a recipe for a long career in the NFL.

Cam, your hairdo looks just about as silly as your football skills.
As my dad would say”Grow up and get a haircut”.

He is not smart enough to realize that "who I am" is just a carbon copy of every other idiot out there who wears a dirty rug on his head because Bob Marley did.

Not sure if any of you saw the play, but a Player with draedlocks hanging down his back from under his helmet was tackled/dragged down BY HIS dreadlocks. It was Marvelous KARMA!

You'd rather have the dreads (ick) than the career.
Okay, your choice.
