Kirk Cousins 'fascinated' by Cam Newton's New England Patriots deal

Kirk Cousins believes the signing of quarterback Cam Newton has added even more intrigue to the New England Patriots heading into the 2020 season.

The Patriots ended a long-standing offseason question in regards to where Newton would wind up as they acquired the veteran free agent, released by the Carolina Panthers after nine seasons in March, on a one-year deal worth up to $7.5m.

Having seen the rest of the NFL hesitate on Newton's availability, perhaps due to his injury struggles, head coach Bill Belichick turned to the 2015 MVP in a move indicative of a team by no means prepared to tank following the departure of six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
