An AFC East head coach told ESPN’s Dianna Russini that the New England Patriots “love Jarrett Stidham” and he doesn’t think newly-signed Cam Newton will start Week 1.
New England signed Newton to a one-year incentive-laden deal that has the ability to earn him up to $7.5 million, NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport reported.
Russini tweeted, “I spoke over text w/ an AFC East Head Coach on Cam Newton and the Patriots. “I think they are going to keep 3 QBs. Use Cam Newton perhaps as the wild card. I actually don’t see him starting Week 1 in the offense.
