Cam Newton Rumors: Patriots' McDaniels Not 'Necessarily High' on Ex-Panthers QB

Ben Margot/Associated Press

Cam Newton likely won't be suiting up for the New England Patriots this season.

Joseph Person and Jeff Howe of The Athletic reported Wednesday the AFC East team has not been interested in bringing in the former Carolina Panthers signal-caller. Person noted the Patriots have just $1 million in cap space and are "invested in Jarrett Stidham."

Person also reported that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels "wasn't necessarily high on Newton when he was talking to the Panthers about their head coaching vacancy."

On the surface, New England seemed like a potential landing spot for Newton.
