The New England Patriots and Cam Newton haven’t made up their minds on what they’re going to do with each other.
The Patriots gave Newton a job in 2020 when it seemed like no one else would. With tremendous swagger and charisma, Newton helped New England cope with the loss of Tom Brady — Newton was graceful in handling the spotlight. But the results weren’t beautiful (aside from Newton’s outfits). The Patriots were 7-9, and they got eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15. Newton finished the season with a 65.8 completion percentage, 2,657 yards, 20 total touchdowns (8 passing, 12 rushing) and 10 interceptions.
It’s unclear if the Patriots would want to run it back with the quarterback — or part ways to see if they can’t get more production from a different signal-caller. So let’s dive into what might come next for Newton.
