Eagles’ Jalen Reagor Drawing Trade Interest
The 23-year-old was a first-round pick in 2020. He was highly touted as a vertical threat after a productive college career, but that hasn’t translated yet to his NFL tenure. In 28 games, the TCU product has averaged a healthy 10.9 yards per reception, but only totalled 64 catches for 695 yards and three touchdowns. With that said, he has also contributed on special teams as a returner.

Free-agent QB Cam Newton under fire for comments about women who 'don't know when to be quiet'​


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- For the second time in his NFL career, 2015 league MVP Cam Newton is being scrutinized on social media for making a sexist comment regarding women.

The 32-year-old free-agent quarterback, on the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast released Monday, complained about women who "can't cook'' and "don't know when to be quiet.''

"Now a woman, for me, is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man's needs. Right?'' Newton said on the podcast. "And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of like, 'I'm a boss b----, I'm this, I'm that.'

"No, baby! But you can't cook. You don't know when to be quiet. You don't know how to allow a man to lead."

In 2017, as the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, Newton responded about how "funny'' it washearing a female reporter ask a question about a receiver running routes.

"It's funny to hear a female talk about routes," he said in response to a question from then-Charlotte Observer reporter Jourdan Rodrigue. "It's funny."

In a statement at the time, the league said, "The comments are just plain wrong and disrespectful to the exceptional female reporters and all journalists. They do not reflect the thinking of the league.''

Newton later apologized in a two-minute video without addressing Rodrigue by name.

"After careful thought, I understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women,'' he said at the time. "To be honest, that was not my intentions. And if you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you.''

The league did not immediately respond when asked for comments about Newton's latest quotes.

Newton spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Panthers after being selected with the top pick of the 2011 draft. He spent the 2020 season with the New England Patriots but was cut at the end of the 2021 training camp.

He signed a one-year deal late last season with the Panthers and went 0-5 as the starter. He has not been signed by another team in free agency, but Carolina general manager Scott Fitterer and coach Matt Rhule recently left the door open for his return. A team spokesperson declined to comment Tuesday.

"I love Cam Newton,'' Rhule said at the NFL owners meeting in South Florida last month. "He's an amazing leader. He's an amazing football player. Everything we do has to be right for the organization, right for him.''
 
Usually the rarity of available talent at a position sets the pay scale. There are good wide receivers coming out in every draft class. Are good receivers really so rare that they command that kind of contract?

This smells like the Gurley/Zeke positional overpay throwing the cap out of whack.
The number is absolutely skewed up because of the latest contracts but we'll see what happens over the next few years when Deebo, Jefferson and a few others are up for 2nd contracts then the guys drafted last year will be quick behind them.

"No, baby! But you can't cook. You don't know when to be quiet. You don't know how to allow a man to lead."

Why did they leave out the part he said right after?

You know how men need to act real and not as their phony persona on social media?

For once, Cam is accurate.
 
I wonder if Cam can cook??

I do agree there are plenty who don’t know when to zip it and feel emboldened by the emasculation of men in today’s society.
The statement about not knowing when to shut up could be said about anybody, man or woman. Someone standing up for themselves shouldn't emasculate anybody else.
 
Don't know if anyone remembers an incident that got a lot of press about five years ago; when Cam Newton fielded a legitimate football question at a press conference from a female reporter who covered the Panthers. Newton laughed and commented how it was "funny to hear a female talk about pass routes". Newton received plenty of criticism at that time.

Anyone know who that female reporter was?
Jourdan Rodrigue.
In my opinion, she's currently the most reliable source for Rams' information.

EDIT: I see where that prior incident is mentioned in the above attached ESPN article.
