Open to backup job Newton said Monday that he's open to accepting a backup gig in the future, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Impact Newton is a pending unrestricted free agent, and though his reunion in Carolina\ proved to be something of a mixed bag, he has at least proven that he's back to full health and still a dangerous threat on the ground. Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports that Newton wishes for his next home to be with a competitive team, rather than a 5-12-0 operation such as the Panthers, who finish the 2021 regular season at the bottom of the NFC South division standings.
