Cam Newton may be ready to dust off his Dirty Bird.
The Carolina Panthers great and former wide receiver Brandon Marshall both hopped on Tuesday’s episode of Good Morning Football. Marshall, Newton’s “I am ICONIC Live Tour” co-host, asked his buddy about his desire for a potential return to the gridiron—demanding a list of three teams he’d be willing to play for.
But Newton only gave him one . . .
Will @CameronNewton ever get back in the pads?

Newton, an Atlanta, Ga. native, has clearly enjoyed settling back into his hometown roots. A huge part of that enjoyment has come in his life as a father, something he alluded to back in October.
“I have seven beautiful children that I love takin’ to football practice, tennis practice, cheerin’ practice and all that,” Newton said during an episode of RG3 and The Ones. To get me up out takin’ them on a day-to-day basis, takin’ them to school—those are some of the things that you have to consider. And if the call doesn’t happen, still cool. I’m still straight. I have businesses and things like that that can feed that monster.”
Well, it just so happens that his hometown really needs a quarterback. Oh, and it just so happens that he already has a history with Bill Belichick, the perceived favorite to land the Falcons’ head-coaching vacancy.
Hmmm . . .
