Enough with the Cam Newton chatter already
Cam Newton isn’t in the Patriots plans. Wasn’t before the draft. Isn’t going to be after the draft. Have I checked to make sure? Yes I have. Besides, they have like 14 bucks of cap space left (actually, $1.077M,
which is 31st in the NFL).
You think Cam is going to come in and play for free? Or for less than Marcus Mariota agreed to with the Raiders as Derek Carr’s backup (
$7.5M this year)? No. No he’s not.
Was he a brilliant player in 2015 and before? Yes. But he’s 23-23 as a starter since, his arm’s turned to junk and he’s never been a terribly accurate or careful thrower.
Just because someone sitting at a desk near a New Jersey horse track says, “Hey, the Patriots don’t have an established starter, let’s see if we can get people to part with their money
on odds Cam goes there?”, logic doesn’t have to take a holiday.
