The New England Patriots are reportedly keen on trading up to draft their quarterback of the future this month, but that doesn’t change the fact that they signed Cam Newton to be their starter under center next season.
While it goes without saying that Newton will be on a short leash following his lackluster debut campaign in Foxborough, you have to think that he’ll improve significantly in 2021.
Some of that boils down to the fact that he couldn’t have performed worse, especially during the second half of the season, seemingly hinting that there’s nowhere to go but up.
