PATRIOTS Sign Cam Newton

[tcphoto]

Where does everyone think he'll go next? Do you think that Cam will accept a backup role or holdout for a starting job?

Probably the CFL if his passport is current. I hear that the XFL is coming back for a third stint.

Seriously though, what could Frank Reich and the Colts do with his remaining skills to replace Phillip Rivers? Maybe Houston if their whiny QB jumps ship?????

who'd have thought Brady, Gronk and Brown would be in the super bowl year 1!?

Mahomes is a bit banged up but could still win at 70% and Chiefs know what to do!

This is ALL belichick and kraft's fault.

Why you refuse to pay the GOAT is beyond me.

Kraft like's handjobs from lady bois.

I hope Brady wins just as a big FUCK YOU to the patriots organization that did not stand with him. His legacy is already cemented, he left and got right back to a SB.

You really think NE didn't want to keep Brady? That it wasn't his idea to seek greener pastures? Interesting....

It wasn't about money. Brady got a 2 year $50M contract from Tampa Bay. That's hardly getting paid in the context of top quarterbacks and is directionally consistent with prior contracts he's signed with NE. Brady leaving NE was more about Bill Belichick and his ways than getting paid. It was also a good opportunity for Brady to diminish the long held belief that NE's success over the last 20 years was in large part because of Belichick and not him. Whether he wins or not next week, Brady taking Tampa Bay from 7-9 to SB berth in one season lays that claim bare.

I think money was a part of it. I heard they wanted to pay him 15M for 1 year with incentives that would be VERY hard to hit. That is a fucking insult to TB. He just got 25M per year for 2 years like you said.

TB has taken plenty of pay cuts over the years for the pats. Kraft should have stepped in and paid the man. He made Kraft so much damn money over the years and made him very popular and a house hold name.

I think him leaving and proving it was not 1/2 BB was certainly part of it but the money was an insult and he did not feel appreciated.

Kraft should have sat down and said how much money do you want, we will sign you for 3 years(which is rumored what he wants so he can retire at age 45), let's get this done. 75m.

When you offer the GOAT piss poor money yes.

If they wanted to keep him they would not have insulted him with a stupid offer.

It was part of it, not all of it. His wife also hates New England from many reports.

Oh come on. Brady engineered this all along. He wasn't going back to a team virtually empty of talent. They struggled on offense his last year there and would have only been worse this year. He knew he would only go to a team loaded with talent that needed a QB.

That one was easy to see coming. Men with that large of an ego and that much pride never win the big game. Never.
