I think it would be very interesting if Cam wound up with the Pats, it would be fun to watch how he would do with them. I think there is a chance he goes there.

I don’t see him going to the Broncos, I think they’ve found their franchise QB of the future with Lock. The Jags seem to be rolling with Minshew for now, and the Chargers don’t seem interested for whatever reason even though they need a QB, I’m starting to think they are just going to go with Tyrod Taylor this season. What about the Dolphins? They need a QB and while I think they will take Tua or Herbert in the draft, I wonder if they could sign Cam to be their starter for now?

I can't see Belichick putting up with Cam Newton.

I've heard the following with the Patriots:

They are not going to sign any really good quarterbacks this year. They are not going to sign any great free agents (not that many are left). By doing so, they'll get a bunch of comp picks for 2021 (for Brady, Collins, Van Noy, etc). They'll also trade a bunch of draft picks this year for 2021 draft picks. All told, maybe they end up with 15 draft picks next year.

Maybe they go 6-10 or so next year because Brian Hoyer or Jarrett Stidham starts at QB. So they are sitting around 9-14 in the 2021 draft.

They hope somebody like the Bengals or Dolphins have a lousy year after drafting Burrow and Tua. They don't need a QB.

New England then says "we'll trade you seven picks for your #1" They end up getting Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields.
