Man, how does he NOT end up in Washington? I can’t really see any other scenario right now. I’d actually like to see him play with Ron again and a stellar D 


Ron doesn’t want unvaxed players.

I was thinking he was primed for a good season. Ultimately I honestly think one thing really caused this.

I think he would've had a better season but would have been benched after one bad game in favor of Jones.  That whole city and the organization is trying to manifest him to be the next Brady.

I wish Cam would just announce his retirement.  Hate to see the ending get worse and worse. 

forget Houston.  Cam's ego and career has already taken a big hit......he would just get murdered in Houston.   He went to NE to prove everyone wrong.  That opportunity doesn't exist in Hou. 

 

 

 

Backup QB is a great paying gig, don't have to do much. I'd be surprised if he retired.

I think you're right, although he would have been on a very short leash.  I think Mac was going to start at some point but Cam would have at least been the backup.  Now he's out of a job.

I love Cam.  I think he still had something left in him.  But he was never going to be the guy that played here again.  Going to Mac Jones makes sense.  Mac Jones has looked good IMO.  And I am a Mac hater. 

but it is surprising Cam wasn't kept.  Gotta think it wasn't about play.   Either the COVID issue became a deal breaker or Cam simply couldn't remain once told he would be the backup.

Ron’s immune system is messed up so don’t think he wants any unvaccinated players.

Yeah, but this is Cam Newton.  Journeyman backup IMO was never in the cards to finish out his career.... even if he technically could do the job.

It's an interesting point, do you think Cam asked to be cut rather than be a backup?

Woooooow.  Wtf?!?!?!?  Belichick is a fuging asshole.  After all that talk about him and Cam having a bond?  Cam deserved so much better..

I hope Mac Jones sucks ass.

Jones does and will suck ass. But Cam was never the answer for the Pats, Belichick had to do something at QB and as soon as he drafted Jones that high it was just a matter of time before he was starting.

I hate Belichick too but I think he did Cam a favor. It's not all that unlikely that Bill told Cam he was going to be the backup and Cam asked to be released. It's MUCH better than being traded to some sh*thole situation that he didn't want to go to.

      Dave Canales says Jalen Coker is our tentative #2 next season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.

      And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited
