Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor posted a photo of himself working out on the field alongside Cam Newton on his personal Instagram and Twitter account on Thursday.
Taylor deleted the picture off both platforms minutes after uploading it, but the majority of the general population was sure to screenshot it for further proof.
The photo stirred up a whirlwind in the world of social media with many speculating that Newton, who is now a free agent, could be working out with his potential teammate.
While the rumors of Newton to Los Angeles heated up after the picture was released, it should be known that both Taylor and Newton have been working out in Atlanta, GA within the past month, not just on Friday.
But it only hasn’t been them working out together. Texans’ Deshaun Watson has been among the other notable players that have been working out together this offseason.
Therefore, it makes the speculations of Taylor and Newton working out to get a head start as teammates a bit less likely.
With Newton now on the market, L.A. could certainly be attracted to the idea of signing the 30-year old since they showed interest while he was still with the Panthers.
However, they’ve made it clear that they’re comfortable moving forward with Taylor as the starter this upcoming season. And with the No. 6 overall selection, the team is in the perfect position to grab his eventual replacement.
Only time will tell where Newton ends up.
