APFormer Auburn quarterback Cam Newton remains one of the hottest names in the 2011 draft. But at a time when it’s becoming more widely believed that former Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert will be the first quarterback — if not the first player — selected, what better way to build some buzz than to leak Newton’s dance card over the next month?
Regardless of who the source was, someone with access to Newton’s calendar has spilled the beans to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Here’s what the Heisman winner will be doing over the next several weeks, per Schefter.
On Sunday, Newton will work out for the Dolphins at Auburn. On Monday, he visits the Bills. On Wednesday, the Vikings will work him out at Auburn.
On Sunday, April 3, the Bengals will visit with Newton at Auburn and work him out on the next day. On Tuesday, April 5, Newton visits the Panthers. The next day, he visits the Titans.
He then visits Cincinnati on April 12. He then wraps up his pre-draft visits with trips to Cleveland on April 13, Washington on April 15, and Denver on April 18.
Thus, Newton will over the next few weeks visit with or be visited by every team with a pick in the top 12, except the Cardinals (No. 5), the 49ers (No. 7), the Cowboys (No. 9), and the Texans (No. 11).

I hear the Bengals are paying over $100K to have Cam show up for the workout.
JaMarcus Newton. In 5 years he’ll be a street corner entertainer and icon with a change cup in front of him on the sidewalk.
The Bills will take him if available, Chan loves Cam.
Cam Newton will have a busy month – chock-full of bad footwork, underthrown balls, and general overhype – all while learning how to become the best icon he can be.
Newton has the best PR team going – politicians take note!
Interesting that the Bengals are the only one Visiting him at Auborn + flying him in…
Unfortunately for Newton, most of these visits are bluffs, or should be.
cam newton is the best..http://bit.ly/ecLz2d
The Vikings are going to Auburn rather than bringing him in so he doesn’t ask to see where they play.
…hate, hate, hate…no matter where he goes he’ll be makin’ more than the haters – so he’s got THAT goin’ for him, which is good, i think…

I don’t know if Chan loves him. As per this article: http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/source-newton-to-meet-with-gailey-one-on-one/#more-24814
Some in the organization are high on Cam Newton but Chan isn’t sold yet. He is going to grill him in the classroom, mano y mano on Monday. Reportedly not working him out on the field but working out his mind to see his level of football intelligence; x’s and o’s.
bust… please stay away bills
