As he sits out and recovers from his abdominal strain, LeBron James is keeping his eye on NFL news, such as Cam Newton signing back with the Carolina Panthers.
Newton agreed to a one-year deal with his old team today after sitting out the first half of the season on the free agent wire. The former No. 1 overall pick spent nine seasons with Carolina from 2011-19 before playing for the New England Patriots in 2020.
Just as he did for Odell Beckham Jr. signing with the Rams, James had a message for Newton on Twitter.
“EXTREMELY HAPPY for Cam!! Back where it all started! Shine brother shine!!” he wrote.

Newton’s reunion with the Panthers is a truly unlikely occurrence. The franchise released him in 2020, but after going through a year with Teddy Bridgewater and having Sam Darnold get hurt last weekend, decided they wanted a second chance with their former franchise QB.
Currently, the Panthers are 4-5 and a half game back of the Atlanta Falcons for the final wild card spot in the NFC.
Wouldn’t it be something if Cam winds up leading them to some wins–and a playoff berth–down the stretch?
