Why the Patriots could pursue more quarterbacks even after re-signing Cam Newton

The New England Patriots already have a presumptive starting quarterback on their roster after reportedly re-signing Cam Newton to an incentive-laden one-year contract before retooling his receiving corps during an epic pre-free-agency spending binge.

But some NFL experts still think the Patriots have their eyes on bigger moves in the quarterback market.

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky chimed in Wednesday morning to suggest the Patriots might be setting themselves up for a splashy trade, either in the draft or for Houston Texans star Deshaun Watson.

It just feels like all the @Patriots moves are in place for a HUGE QB move…up in draft to take a young kid early/use Hou connections to get Watson?
