NFL Insider Give Update On The Situation Between Patriots And Cam Newton

The New England Patriots were left without their star quarterback. Tom Brady decided to take his talents to Tampa. He is now part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was hard for everyone to accept the fact that the GOAT would leave the Patriots after two decades and six Super Bowls. For many analysts, this was the beginning of the end of the Patriots dynasty. But, it turns out that coach Bill Belichick is ready to move on without his superstar player. Brady may have been the pillar of the Patriots for two decades, but Belichick is confident about his next chapter. Belichick will enter his first season without Brady. He has Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer on the roster at the moment. It turns out that the Patriots aren’t any near to getting Cam Newton.

Do they even want him on the roster?

The Patriots may not go after Cam Newton

New England didn’t select a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft. The team did get a pair of undrafted free agents following the draft. However, these signings didn’t really raise questions. Many analysts thought that the Patriots would spent a first-round pick on a signal-caller.

Belichick is in charge of a weak quarterback depth chart. This was enough for fans to start asking questions. Would Belichick get Cam Newton? He was one of the best picks on the market at the moment. Oddsmakers tabbed the Patriots as the frontrunners to get Newton. Let’s not forget that he earned the 2015 NFL MVP award. If you ask Michael Giardi from NFL Network, he will say that coach B won’t even try to get Newton.

If this is true, Stidham will probably lead the Patriots to a new win in September. He will probably be the starting quarterback in Week 1 of the upcoming season. When it comes to Cam Newton, he will probably end up playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars. Both teams have shown interest in his talent. Newton’s free agency may drag on due to the coronavirus outbreak. He is a talented player, and definitely deserves a spot on an active roster. He may turn himself into a backup quarterback though.
