2) McCourty's 2020 cap is $5.4M. Newton's could be anywhere between $5M and $10M.
In the UK we have a different betting system...does this mean it is likely?
"Well, Cam obviously has had a good NFL career down there in Carolina. He's given us a big challenge whenever we've faced him. A lot of factors go into it, but we thought bringing him was what's best for the football team. We want to delay Stid's development as much as possible, create a meaningless bridge year where we have to reshape our offense around a running quarterback who can no longer run. We weren't worried about the physical decline or concussion issues and we definitely don't care about the pattern of selfishness and lack of humility. We think an aging, angsty former MVP who is used to be the sole focal point of an offense will have no problem taking a team-first mentorship role. We'll see how it goes once he gets here." - Belichick, never
Why would the patriots want him?Newton has basically no leverage. If he wants to play football this year and not just backup someone, the Patriots are the only chance left. Patriots would have to make space but it's probably a lot less than they would have had to make back in March.
I think it's a possibility.

But adding an inaccurate injury prone running QB who can’t run any more won’t help that.Because their current depth chart at the most important position in sports is a mediocre veteran NFL quarterback, a 4th round second year player whose only throws in anger ended in a pick six, and two undrafted rookies.

I understand you are underwhelmed with Stidham and get that (my thinking is if Belichick is ready to roll with him he knows what he is getting) but adding a guy who sucks is pointless.
I would rather have kept Cody Kessler.
When the odds are that high, it often means somebody knows something.
Cam Newton completed 67.9% of his passes in 2018 for 24 TDs and 13 INTs, while adding 500 yards on the ground for 4 more TDs. Tom Brady has never completed more than 67.4% of his passes in any year. He missed most of last season with an injury but he was actually very good in 2018, this pervasive narrative that he's washed up just doesn't jell with the facts. Cody Kessler, on the other hand, does actually really suck.
Sure they were. Their judgement was that Belichick would do so. Now, there are few choices left.A week ago those same people were saying Belichick had to take a QB in the draft.
Ah, ta. That is 1/2 here....to go that short likely someone knows somethingRight now it costs $190 to win $100 on Newton signing with the Pats.
That is almost 2 to 1 in favor of him signing with the Pats.
I say no. saw him show no heart when it was needed most.
