It’s unclear what the future holds for Cam Newton.

The veteran quarterback had some flashes of his old self with the Patriots, but also looked wholly incapable of pushing the ball down the field.

There’s also his unvaccinated status, which may have played a small role in him being released by the Patriots.

A lot of teams would likely getting an upgrade at backup quarterback if they signed Cam Newton. But it remains to be seen what the market will end up being for his services.
