Congratulations to @CameronNewton on signing with the @Patriots ! I wasn’t sure they would pull the trigger on signing him- but a great organization knows great talent, and accepts that talent into their program to keep winning alive and possible! Good luck Cam!

I said this to @TedyBruschi months ago!! Cam and BB, it’s a new team and new ball game. Josh plus a mobile QB, these young WR or guys that can’t get open in the old offense now can be standing wide open due to a mobile QB & not perfect route runners. AFC championship on lock..😂 pic.twitter.com/v7OxwRPyt9
