It looks like the Cam Newton experiment in New England will be one.
Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports Sunday NFL Countdown that the Patriots and the 2015 NFL MVP are is expected to separate this off-season.
Newton will become a free agent, and he will be available to go wherever he wants. He was in the same boat a year ago, but he came on the market late when the Panthers put him off after researching all trading options. The health issue also led to teams being empty, along with the inability of teams to fully and completely evaluate his foot, his ankle and his shoulder.
This year he’s getting a flash on the open market – but there are real questions about his current skills and abilities. He has five passes this season. During his MVP campaign, he succeeded in three different matches for five attacks.
For the Patriots, that means finding another starting quarterback. Whether it’s Jarrett Stidham or a veteran or a rookie remains to be seen.
Newton leaves with $ 3.7 million for one season of work. It’s far from market value, but it was the best deal he could get last year. This time he has a better chance of getting a much better deal.
