Joy Taylor: “A team will sign Cam Newton: ‘To Be’ or ‘Not To Be?’”
Colin Cowherd: “To be. Without OTA’s, probably the most predictable thing we’re going to have this year in the NFL is COVID and injuries.What does that mean?

Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks COVID-19 could play a role in Cam Newton getting another opportunity in the NFL, as the former MVP and NFC Championship winning quarterback has been the biggest free agent casualty from a perilous game of musical chairs in 2020’s loaded FA QB class.
Despite at one time being considered arguably the best player in the NFL in the mid-2010's, the 30-year-old lost big in free agency to prominent talents the likes of Philip Rivers, Ryan Tannehill, Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Nick Foles, and Andy Dalton.

Check out the audio below as Colin details two reasons why the coronavirus pandemic could open up a window for Newton to resurrect his career.
