Well, there it is, folks. Cam Newton is back on an NFL roster, and he’ll have a couple months to get himself acclimated to the Patriots.
What an absolutely blockbuster signing for Bill Belichick and company. Talk about sending shockwaves through the NFL.
Is Cam Newton going to replace Tom Brady? Asking any quarterback to replace the guy who won six Super Bowls is insane.

However, Newton is a freak of nature physically when he’s healthy, and we all know what he’s capable of when he’s at the top of his game.
He came a few plays away from winning a Super Bowl just a few years ago.
