Cam Newton is perhaps the biggest free agent on the market, but he might have to wait a bit before finding a new home. According to the latest NFL rumors, the Dallas Cowboys are not interested in making Cam Newton their backup. In other news, Jerry Jones weighed in on Buffalo\u2019s potential move, while Tom Brady doesn\u2019t sound like he plans on retiring any time soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NFL Rumors: Cam Newton, Buffalo Bills Stadium, Tom Brady<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The New England Patriots<\/a> shocked the world when they released quarterback Cam Newton. Despite the selection of Mac Jones, Newton still received the vast majority of the first-team work and was widely believed to be the favorite to start in Week 1. However, Jones won the job, leaving Newton to find a new gig with one of the 31 other teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Newton might have to settle for life as a backup<\/a>, but that opportunity won\u2019t be coming with the Dallas Cowboys. Speaking to reporters, head coach Mike McCarthy said that the team <\/span>will not be going after<\/span><\/a> Newton. The team has evaluated Newton and apparently feels that the quarterback isn\u2019t a notable upgrade from Cooper Rush or Will Grier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While on the airwaves, Jerry Jones addressed how the team came to that evaluation. While he never specifically said whether or not he talked to Bill Belichick regarding Newton, Jones did say that \u201cCam Newton is not playing because everybody has evaluated it and they\u2019ve made a decision\u201d while adding that it was \u201cvery, very easy\u201d for the Cowboys to evaluate Cam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading between the lines, it looks as though the Cowboys are simply relying on their own self-scouting in this case. Newton clearly isn\u2019t the player he once was, but he is still considerably better than Cooper Rush and Will Grier. It\u2019s entirely possible that Newton\u2019s vaccination status is a factor, although Jones would never admit to such a thing.<\/span><\/p>\n
