Cam Newton to New England Patriots.

[Elwood P Dowd]

Small one-year base salary but lots of incentives if he does well. Injuries and surgeries ruined his 2018-2019 seasons.

1. I feel like I can root for the Patriots now

Especially since they drafted N'Keal Harry from Arizona State.

2. Good for Cam. I hope he prospers in Boston.

3. He can play his way back into a big contract

way too much talent for any fool to have released him outright

4. Makes sense

This could be a win-win for Cam and Belichick. I wish him good health.

From a lifelong Eagles Fan!

5. This doesn't bode well for Colin Kapernick

It's a sign of a depressed quarterback market … and if you happen to be a quarterback still looking for a job, you just lost a few more dollars off your asking price. When a former MVP is "only" getting an incentive-laden contract worth a maximum of $7.5 million, you know the market is resetting itself, hard. (Is it a fair resetting? Well, that's an entirely different question. If Mitchell Trubisky gets multiple five-year, nine-figure offers next offseason, we'll know.)

Now, as for Kaepernick ... set aside the protest aspect of his career and look at him purely as a quarterback. He left the San Francisco 49ers in early 2017, opting out of his contract after being told he’d be cut later in the year. At the time, he slotted right in the middle of the NFL’s quarterback rankings. Not nearly as good as the Rodgers/Brees/Brady crew, far better than the who's-that-guy QBs who would be signed to, and cut from, the bottoms of depth charts over the next three seasons.

Colin Kapernick should have taken his agent's advice and grabbed the Bronco's offer when it was on the table.
