"We have three (quarterbacks) we like … and we're going to go forward with those guys." "It did pop up on our radar, but just so you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick is our starting quarterback," Rivera said. Ron Rivera, Newton's former coach in Carolina who is now with the Washington Football Team, was asked later Tuesday if he would consider adding Newton.

15 in April's draft, impressed in Newton's absence during joint practices against the Giants, and had a strong showing in the preseason finale against New York on Sunday.Ī three-time Pro Bowler and the league MVP in 2015, Newton spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Carolina Panthers.
Newton missed time during OTAs with a hand injury, then again during training camp because of a break in COVID-19 protocols that required him - because he is unvaccinated - to stay away from the team, frustrating some within the organization. He re-signed with the Patriots as a free agent in March on a one-year, $5.1 million deal with only $3.5 million guaranteed. The 32-year-old was set to enter his second season with the Patriots, after going 7-8 in 15 games as a starter in 2020. Newton acknowledged his release on social media, writing in his Instagram story, "I really appreciate all the love and support during this time but I must say … please don't feel sorry for me!! I'm good." The move means that rookie first-round pick Mac Jones will be the team's starting quarterback. The New England Patriots released quarterback Cam Newton during their final cutdown to 53 players on Tuesday, a source confirmed to The Athletic.
