The New England Patriots aren’t currently planning on pursuing quarterback Cam Newton, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
In some respects, New England seemed like a solid landing spot for Newton. The 30-year-old quarterback has Super Bowl experience, and Bill Belichick once said Newton was “at the top of the list” among mobile quarterbacks in the NFL. He had a rough 2019 season when he completed 56.2 percent of his passes for 572 yards and an interception before ending the season on injured reserve. Newton’s predicament — a bad season, an injury and his release — might appeal to Belichick, who historically likes to buy low on free agents.
