Rodney Harrison 'disappointed' Patriots weren't aggressive pursuing Cam Newton

Many have linked the Patriots to Cam Newton over the last month or so, but it seems there's nothing to it.

It appears the Patriots are sticking with second-year player Jarrett Stidham and veteran Brian Hoyer.

Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show recently, former Patriots safety and current NBC Sports analyst Rodney Harrison said he was "disappointed" New England didn't aggressively pursue Newton.

“…I thought it would be a great situation where he could have came in at a reduced salary,” he said. "He could have came in and really learned a lot about just technique and just the intricacies of being on a really great football team with great guidance as far as the head coach and offensive coordinator.
