It makes a lot of sense, the Patriots are a team in need of a starting quarterback, Cam Newton is a starting QB who needs a team. The Patriots are losing a 3rd round pick for taping the Bengals, so if Cam Newton shows he’s healthy and leaves the Patriots with a good contract for 2021, the Patriots could recoup a third-round compensatory draft pick. Bill Belichick and Cam Newton are both famous for their fashion choices.
But if you look beyond all of that, it makes even more sense. Over his career, Cam Newton’s best on-field connections have been with small but tough WR Steve Smith, TE Greg Olsen, and RB Christian McCaffrey.
