Back in 2021, former NFL quarterback Cam Newton was finishing up a one year deal with the Carolina Panthers that paid him $6 million.

In 2025, things are a little different and he’s speaking on it. “It hurts me knowing that I can’t provide like I once did. It hurts thinking that I’m Superman, but in reality, I’m just a man,” said the 35 year old, former NFL quarterback.

The father of eight recently shared his thoughts on transitioning away from the game during an episode of Special Forces. He also expressed that it’s been hard for him to feel like a “superman” to his kids now that he isn’t making the same amount of money anymore. Check out the full story here.
