Cam Newton CALLS OUT the Rams: Myles Garrett Trade Proves Ty Simpson Pick Was a MISTAKE

4th&1 Podcast with Cam Newton

Show Notes

Cam Newton reacts to the Los Angeles Rams trading for Myles Garrett and does not hold back on what this trade really means. While the rest of the NFL world celebrates the blockbuster move, Cam breaks down why this was damage control after Les Snead's controversial first-round pick of Ty Simpson, a selection Cam says has Trey Lance written all over it. Cam reveals why Sean McVay was not happy behind the scenes, explains how the Stafford extension and Garrett trade were both makeup calls to get the Rams back on track, and makes the case that the Rams should have drafted Makai Lemon out of USC instead. Plus, Cam floats the idea of Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to join the super team, compares it to the Rob Gronkowski situation in Tampa, and breaks down why the Cleveland Browns just made their already rocky situation even worse by shipping off the only player giving the franchise relevance outside of the quarterback controversy.
