Although the frenzy of NFL free agency has slowed significantly, a few marquee names are still available.
Most recently, Cam Newton joined the open market after the Carolina Panthers mishandled the end of his tenure. Instead of receiving any players or draft compensation in a trade, they ended up releasing their longtime starter.
That decision has turned into a lose-lose situation, with Newton entering a thin quarterback market.
So far this offseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers landed Tom Brady. Philip Rivers picked the Indianapolis Colts, and Carolina signed Teddy Bridgewater.
