Don't know. Adam Schefter and Tom Pelissero both said this move doesn't necessarily preclude the Patriots from adding another quarterback, so who knows?

It's low pay for a starter, but pretty high pay for a backup. Last year's highest backup salary was apparently about 16 million for Alex Smith.

Josh Klein said Newton will be making less than Taysom Hill this year. I didn't remember Hill making that much.

Yeah the Saints pay Hill 16 mil a year LOL.  No wonder they're in Salary Cap Hell....

It's interesting how the never-Cammers always accuse the Cam fans of trying to "make everything about Cam" and then make threads like this...

Just wait.

There’ll be 2 specific posters who always complained about Cam topics, and how there were too many, that will be in here. Theyre in every Cam thread.

 

Anyways, good for Cam. I’m rooting for him.

If I was Cam I rather be a back up in a place like Denver, where they actually have weapons and you know Lock is on a short leash. Is gonna take more than one offseason for NE to fill their giants holes on offense, no WR, no TE and now their o-line is leaving

Its so sad that we give him no weapons while he's here and then shower teddy b with Moore, Samuel, and Anderson.. Then cam goes up to the patriots where their WRs were even worse than our scrubs

Uhhhh....you realize Moore, CMC, and Samuel were here for years with Cam right?

 

and they ended up having better years under Kyle Allen and Teddy Bridgewater than they ever did with Cam.

 Cam used to be able to effortlessly flick the ball 60 yards downfield off his back foot. Now he looks like the ball weighs 50 lbs when throwing. It makes him second guess his decisions and hold on to the ball too long because he doesn’t trust he can get it there consistently. This is obvious.

I think Patriots will draft a QB or sign another capable backup as a contingency plan.

On GMFB, they did mention his arm or lack thereof. Schrager did say that his arm looks shot. For Cam's sake, I hope that's not true. He's worked hard to get that shoulder right!

The latter part of the season is where the big test will be.

Have said before: It's a lot easier to look good in Week Two than it is in  Week Twelve.

Gantt said the same.

Honestly though, I think the bigger question applies to Belichick.

Last season had folks asking whether Belichick's greatness was really due to Brady.

Regardless of what happens with Newton, if the Patriots struggle again this year, those questions are gonna get louder.

Well, the "smartest coach in the NHL" is also a very questionable GM at times, so it might not tell us what he thinks it tells us...

Cam never had a fully healthy year with DJ Moore. The 1 year he had with McC and Samuel, both barely played because Rivera

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
