Cam Newton has made a good impression on the Patriots.
Since he is a loose agent on hold, he was already asked: will he remain in New England for the long term?
A former Pats quarterback believes that.
Newton is betting on a one-year trial contract, and he’s already on the line of a big payday this off-peak season as long as he stays healthy and productive for the rest of the season.
While Newton insists that his contract scenario is not in the brain right now, Drew Bledsoe believes that a long-term extension between the two parties can happen very well, even faster than later.
“That sounds, of course,” Bledsoe said on CBS Sports Radio’s “The Zach Gelb Show. “”I know Belichick praised Cam and Cam, it was crazy that he was on the street as long as he was. I think [maybe]] other people were worried that he wasn’t healthy yet, but I know he’s grateful the Patriots gave him that opportunity. I think there’s a sure mutual admiration there. You may see them point to a longer-term agreement before the end. of the season. “
Quality changes are hard to find. Although Bill Belichick tends to be stingy in negotiations, giving Newton a big contract can be a sensible decision.
We’ll have to wait and see.
