Questions about Newton's status in NE?

I'd be pretty surprised if NE outright cut Cam before the season.  But I'd also be equally surprised if Cam is their starting QB at the midway point in the season.  He's their best known commodity at QB at this point, but Belichick obviously isn't committed to him by any means.

Can Cam be a good backup though? Dude has been so used to being "The Man" since dominating at Auburn, can his personality and ego take the hit of not being a starter? 

It's unknown territory. I mean he's been on the sidelines with a clipboard before....but that was because of injuries. I'm not questioning if he's a good teammate (plenty of evidence he was always good to the squad) but can the dude handle being demoted?

If New England wants to move on from him they should look to swap him for Foles in Chicago. Cam can help groom Fields and Foles would be much better than Stidham or Hoyer to learn from in NE. Both teams win. 

I love Cam, but I don't think any teams will be clamoring for him to be the role model for their rookie QB. Hard worker and great player in his time, but not quite the fit for what you are talking about. Teddy would be, but not Cam IMO.

Newton strikes me as the type of guy to walk away from the game before he'd accept being a backup.

Here are the teams with the least space...

No shock who's at the top, but also noteworthy that every other team in our division is on that list.

 

Julio will be traded after June 1.  It's the only option they have to sign their draft picks, and that June 1 designation will mean his new team will only have to pay him 7.75 million for the next 3 years.  But since the Saints and Bucs can't afford him, Julio will no longer be in our division.

its almost like they don't expect newton to finish the season healthy.

How dare you. 

THE PJ Walker is undefeated and has beaten opponents by an average of 20 pts per game in the NFL. 

If he maintains such a pace, he basically will be Bo Jackson in tecmo bowl and go down in Panther history.

I imagine him landing in Raider land or the Bills

Depends what you are looking to get from him. 

Bill loves Cam to a large degree.   His work ethic.  His accountability.  How he gives everything in his tank.  How serious and important winning is.   First on the field.  And Cam is a great locker room guy.   

Depends what you want a vet to give to your young guy….I mean they have coaches for mechanics and all that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
