Cam Newton may be the most notable quarterback the New England Patriots could acquire to replace Tom Brady, but they reportedly don't want to pay the $19.1 million the Carolina Panthers QB is set to earn.
In regards to Newton and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Monday's episode of Get Up, "I don't think the Patriots are clamoring for either option right now." He pointed to Newton's $19.1 million 2020 salary and Dalton's $17 million-plus salary as the driving factors.
