Michael Wilbon Gives Interesting Take On Cam Newton-Patriots Rumors

Michael Wilbon is the latest person to discuss the Cam Newton-Patriots story. The New England Patriots didn’t select a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft. There have been so many rumors about the talented quarterback and the Patriots. If you ask Wilbon, he will share a rather interesting take on the situation.

Wilbon doesn’t really understand why people criticize the Patriots for not getting Newton.

New England may need a quarterback to enter the season with a talented squad. They have Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer on the roster now. Will head coach Bill Belichick decide to go with these two in September?

Wilbon’s take on the Newton-Patriots rumor

Wilbon went on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” and discussed the topic. According to him, Belichick may have a good feeling for his current team. Belichick has never paid that much attention to comments from the outside world.

“These are the New England Patriots we’re talking about,” Wilbon said. “I know you (Tony Kornheiser) and I and people of our ilk, we like to go on TV and radio and the newspaper and tell teams what they should do. There’s one team that I’m not even going to try to tell what to do and it’s the New England Patriots. What are we talking about? Should they be interested because odds in Vegas say they should? Whatever Bill Belichick and his crew think they should do, that’s fine with me until we are proven otherwise.”

Where will Newton go next? He won the 2015 NFL MVP award. He has all the talent a team needs to win games. The Carolina Panthers decided to break ties with him. What’s Newton’s next destination? He has attracted the attention of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Both teams are considered frontrunners to get Newton. Well, it‘s not like he has too many options now. Some believe that Newton will become a backup quarterback for an NFL team. It’s not like he has a lot of options now. Let’s see what happens next. This will be a rather long offseason for the quarterback. He better find his home in the next few weeks.
