New England Patriots’ decision to cut veteran NFL quarterback Cam Newton had nothing to do with his COVID-19 vaccination status, the team’s head coach said.

Bill Belichick told reporters during a press briefing on Wednesday there are “a lot of factors” involved in the release of Newton, who had previously declined to confirm whether he has been vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, saying the issue is too personal to discuss.
