Nick Wright Offers Different Perspective On Cam Newton-Patriots Rumors

Nick Wright shared his take on Cam Newton and the New England Patriots. The “First Things First” host said it would be an offense by the Patriots to not show any interest in the quarterback. The Newton-Patriots rumor is alive.

Wright said that the Patriots should really go after Newton. This deal makes sense for both the team and the player. The 2015 NFL MVP may thrive well in a winning environment. The Patriots need the boost he offers. Let’s not forget that the team was left without Tom Brady. The former Patriots quarterback is now part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wright shared his thoughts on why both the Patriots and Newton would benefit from this pairing.

“If Cam’s not interested in them, if Cam wants more money, if Cam doesn’t want to play in that system, I would say it’s foolish of Cam, but then it’s out of their hands,” Wright said Wednesday on FOX Sports 1. “But if they’re not interested in him at all, it’s indefensible. I read Tom Curran’s column and I like Tom a lot, but he slipped a line in there which is that Jarrett Stidham would have been the second-ranked quarterback in this year’s draft. Was I dead for Jarrett Stidham’s great year at Auburn that I missed where Jarrett Stidham would be ranked ahead Tua Tagovailoa on any human being’s board if he was in this year’s draft? If they can’t make the money work, fine. But to me, it would be indefensible.”

Will the Newton-Patriots rumor turn into a real thing?

A lot of analysts share the same opinion. Former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum sees Newton as a new quarterback for the Patriots. Head coach Bill Belichick may use him well in his offense.

But, this pairing may not happen. According to several recent reports there isn’t anything between the Patriots and Newton.

Newton is really talented and he needs everything Belichick needs. The Carolina Panthers decided to move on from him. He has attracted the attention of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers? Will he end up playing with any of these teams? We believe he will find home in the near future.
