Cam Newton Questions Colts’ Decision To Sign Philip Rivers, Says He Felt “Disrespected” By Being Overlooked

Cam Newton said he felt frustrated and disrespected after the Indianapolis Colts brought back Philip Rivers without reaching out to him. Speaking on his 4th & 1 podcast, Newton described the move as “almost like a slap in my face,” explaining that he has not officially retired and has made it clear he is open to playing again. He questioned why Rivers, who had also been away from the NFL, was given the opportunity while he was overlooked and suggested there may be a double standard in how teams evaluate players. Newton emphasized that he is still “open for business” but was disappointed the Colts did not consider or contact him before making their decision. Is Cam right?
