Just a few days after the first big offseason of the offseason – the acquisition of Trent Brown’s attacking approach via the Las Vegas Raiders’ trade – the New England Patriots make their second: the team has re-signed starting quarterback Cam Newton to to give an incentive. a $ 5 million one-year heavy contract to prevent him from hitting unlimited free agency next week.
While it remains to be seen how Newton will fit into the picture this season and what additional moves will be made to the position, it’s no secret that the team will remain vigilant and add talent to a quarterback room that also exists today. From Jarrett Stidham and Jake Dolegala. What will that talent look like there? That’s the big question, but New England is exploring all possibilities.
One of the apparently also the starting officer of the San Francisco 49ers, Jimmy Garoppolo. According to Evan Lazar of CLNS Media, the Patriots ‘did kick the tires’ on their former second-round draft pick before finally bringing Newton back into the fold.
However, a move never took place as 49ers went on to say that Garoppolo would not be available via trade. While things can change quickly in the NFL during this time of year, the Patriots have moved in a different direction to bring Newton back into the kraal.
Of course, non-England do not necessarily have to relate to the availability of Garoppolo and to signing their starting quarters in 2020. The Patriots will focus their attention on numerous players to get a feel for the market, and QB of San Francisco was probably no exception, despite his ties to the organization.
At this point, and even while Newton remains standing, New England is very much in the quarterback market – regardless of whether Garoppolo is also part of it.
