One nice perk of the Cam Newton signing was it should’ve pretty definitively slammed the door on any kind of talk that the New England Patriots would tank the 2020 season for top draft picks in 2021. The idea that Bill Belichick, the third-winningest coach in NFL history, would gladly take his first losing season since 2000 with a smile just to reset the team via the draft was always preposterous, but it still popped up here and there just like a lot of other flat-out-bananas QuaranTakes that we’ve all seen this offseason.
