Patriots release Cam

[TimetobringDfence!]

Patriots just released Cam Newton and named Jones starter.

Good news. Mac Jones is better and he is the future as Hoody will make him better every day. Newton's train has left the tracks.

Only scary part is the backup is Hoyer till Stidham is healthy.    I excited for the new chapter to begin. I think Jones gives us the best chance to actually beat the Bills.

Jones has been fun to watch. He certainly has fought and earned the starter role. But yes, pretty much everyone in the NFL knows that Hoyer is only okay for like a quarter or two in a pinch.

Sigh I could have taken Lawrence or Fields in my fantasy draft, thinking Newton would be a backup for me in my dynasty league.  Ouch.

That is why it is best to schedule FF drafts a week before the regular season starts.

You don’t do fantasy drafts until week 7 to account for early injuries.

 

stuff happens no matter when you draft.  Cam couldve been cut next week.   Him not being vaccinated think will spook some teams away as he’s a potential vector to your players that matter missing games

Jones is gonna be fantastic in NE

Week 7?  What kind of league are you in?

Was a joke.  Can draft day before season and have a season ending injury or a player cut the next day.

Yup he is the backup. Stidham still recovering from surgery
