Cam Newton speaks on the Saints QB drama. Aaron Rodgers is the headline that’s stirring debate across the NFL. The former NFL MVP and now a prominent analyst, has made his opinion clear: the Saints should make a bold move and sign Aaron Rodgers.
Cam didn’t hold back when discussing the Saints’ current options. With Derek Carr gone, the team has Jake Haener, Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough, and Hunter Dekkers. None has proven themselves as a starting NFL quarterback.
Newton dismissed the idea of trading for Kirk Cousins, saying, “I just don’t think Kirk Cousins has it in him to lead a team to the playoffs. That’s just me, personally. I think Kirk Cousins is as talented as a safety value that any team would want to have. But to lead them to the playoffs? Nah”.
Newton believes Aaron Rodgers is the perfect fit for the Saints. He points to the controlled environment of the Superdome as a major advantage.
“You ain’t got to worry about snow, wind, and rain,” Newton said, highlighting how Rodgers, after years in Green Bay and New York, he could thrive indoors.
Newton argues that Rodgers’ experience and leadership would instantly upgrade the Saints. The team already has a strong defense and talented playmakers like Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave. Newton sees Rodgers as the missing piece that could make New Orleans a playoff contender again.
The Saints are not considered a win-now team, but Newton thinks Rodgers could change that narrative. While some analysts question if Rodgers would want to join a team in transition.
Newton’s pitch is simple: New Orleans offers Rodgers a chance to end his career on a high note, in ideal conditions, with a hungry fanbase.
Cam’s call for the Saints to sign Aaron Rodgers has sparked discussion throughout the league. With the Saints’ quarterback situation in flux, Newton’s bold idea could be the move that brings stability and excitement back to New Orleans.
