A Bill Belichick-Cam Newton marriage would fail: ex-Patriots exec

Error 0:

The New England Patriots have shown no known interest in free agent Cam Newton as a potential replacement for Tom Brady, and at least one former team executive believes he knows why.

Scott Pioli, who worked in the Pats’ front office for seven years before becoming GM of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009, doesn’t believe Newton’s quarterbacking style would mesh with Bill Belichick’s coaching philosophy.

“The Patriots thing is interesting with Cam Newton because, in my mind, I don’t see those two coexisting together,” Pioli said Saturday on CBS Sports Radio.
