Cam Newton is now a free agent, but Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys apparently have no interest in signing the former league MVP.
Though many have speculated that Newton could be a great fit backing up Dak Prescott in Dallas this season after the Patriots released him earlier this week, McCarthy shut that idea down on Thursday morning.
“To sit here and talk about any of the players not on our roster, I don’t think there’s really anything that’s beneficial that comes out of that for us,” he said, via USA Today’s Jori Epstein. “But Cam, I’ve had a chance to compete against Cam, chance to watch some of his tape in New England.
“I still think he has a ton of football left. But we’re very excited about the group that we have.”
Newton was released from the Patriots on Tuesday morning, which made first-round draft pick Mac Jones the team’s starting quarterback this season. Newton threw for more than 2,600 yards and threw eight touchdowns with 10 interceptions last season in New England, his first with the team after spending his first nine years in the league with the Carolina Panthers.
