The New England Patriots re-signed Cam Newton to a one-year deal this offseason, and all signs point to him being the starting quarterback. Considering what the San Francisco 49ers just pulled off, Jimmy Garoppolo might need to start looking at apartments in Massachusetts again,
Rumors suggested that the Patriots aren’t done adding to their QB room, indicating that they aren’t fully sold on Newton improving upon his underwhelming debut campaign last year and would like a serviceable backup in place in case he’s benched again.
