As Cam Newton said during an appearance on ESPN Radio Thursday, all the speculation about the Patriots quarterback competition is little more than noise until players report next week and the pads come on for practice.
“Me having this conversation in July is irrelevant,” he told the Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin Show. “This is just going to be the clickbait for the next 24 to 48 hours — ‘This is how Cam feels.’ But truth be told, nothing is going to matter until July 22 [when he reports to the team],” he said.
Until then, a league source reportedly told ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler that Newton’s position with the team has not changed.
