I've wondered why it has taken this long to get done. Makes complete sense.
And has the added benefit of diverting the Kaepernick circus to some other franchise, which will have to endure said circus until it's obvious to all that Kaepernick ain't what he once was. Hell, his last two seasons in the league already showed the world that.
I dont think anyone has thought since Kaep rightfully and peacefully protested the racial inequality in the country that he was a starter. But he was clearly backup caliber and better than probably 80 percent of the backups in the league. You call it a circus i call it a fuckin crime.

Wow... I know Cam wasn't in the best negotiating position but "incentive-laden deal [...] up to 7.5M" (https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/06/29/cam-newton-reaches-agreement-one-year-deal-new-england-patriots) seems like quite the bargain, doesn't it ?
The Pats can say they like Stidham all they want but a healthy Cam is really intriguing there

It had to be a bargain. Pats available cap was small but cam has the ability to make up that money in a bigger deal if he can vibe with a winning established structure aRound him. Cam injury status is a mystery Too. It’s a win win

Id say win-win-win.
Pats add a vet Qb to an unknown QB situation
Cam gets to prove he can stay healthy and produce for a big contract next year
Fans get to see Cam and BB, just adds more interest and excitement
I just want some football ...

Yes he did, but that doesn't erase the fact that the league screwed him over. I mean the league has given sexual predators (Big Ben), child abusers (AP), and spouse abusers (Greg Hardy) second chances and these guys were accused of or committed crimes.

I agree, but He did a lot of this to himself as well. Multiple times he had opportunities but he kinda pissed it away including last year.
At the end of the day, coaches didn’t want to put up with a headache, back up quarterback. It wasn’t worth it.

IF Kap really wanted to play he would be on a roster .. he is way more focused on political activism than a QB ... he had work out last year and turned that into a circus ..
