easy upgrade at qb here if he wants to come
A veteran minimum contract with incentives and minimal financial damage to the organization if they decide to cut him in season. I still don’t think he’d bring anything more to the table than Taylor.

Cam is an unvaxxed liability. The main reason he's been cut.
Saying he gave up is misleading. He did handle losing like a whiney little baby but the fact is there was no way Cam and the Panthers were going to win that Super Bowl. The pressure on Cam during that game was unrelenting and unless that magically changed the Panthers offense was not going to do much. No Qb on the Panthers would have made a difference in the outcome of that game.he gave up in the super bowl though.

Hope the Texans at least give him a call.
All it takes is a shot.
Cam's last full healthy season as a starter...which wasn't anywhere close to his best season, was better than any season Taylor has ever had. Cam at 75-80% of what he was is better than Tyrod at 100% of what he is.
It is unlikely Cam makes a difference on our team in the way of wins. I don't think getting Cam would hurt us any either. There is a chance, "slight as it may be," that we catch lightning in a bottle by signing Cam! I am on the go get Cam side of the debate. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Hope the Texans at least give him a call.
Patriots cut Cam Newton: Cowboys, Texans among top landing spots for the former league MVP
Houston Texans
If Newton's top priority is to be a starter -- he said earlier this year that "there aren't 32 guys better than me" -- somewhere in the league, his best bet may be the Houston Texans. With Deshaun Watson's status in flux, the path to QB1 is attainable. Currently, the Texans have Tyrod Taylor and rookie Davis Mills on the roster, which are two quarterbacks that Newton should be able to successfully beat out for the job. Of course, the Texans aren't expected to be a competitive football team this season, so Newton's chances of playing for a serious contender would be wildly diminished if he signed on with the Texans, but it's arguably his best route to go down if he simply wants to start. Anywhere else and he's likely banking on an injury to leap up the depth chart.

Well, there’s thisCam Newton threw 8 TDs to 10 INTs last season. Why would he be better here (or anywhere), this season? I can see why the rookie beat him out.

Newton started 15 games last season. And he was one of the worst starters in the league. I don't know what % he is from his Super Cam days. But, those days are long gone.Cam's last full healthy season as a starter...which wasn't anywhere close to his best season, was better than any season Taylor has ever had.

& he's never going to be. Plantar Facitus... it's Latin for done.Cam wasn’t really healthy last year.
Cam wasn’t really healthy last year. He actually only played in 15 games, but He was nicked up with alot of smaller injuries & on top of that he caught COVID & missed like 2 weeks. when he came back he never really was able to get in rythym. he looked good in the preseason in his limited action this year. No he is no longer SB Cam but I contend he’s still better than Tyrod is at 75% of what he was at his peak. Only 8 pass TDs to 10 ints…..but he had 12 rush TDs last year too.
This is just people nostalgic for a player that no longer exists.
I think Culley's post game pressers will be a hoot. Win, lose, or draw.Cam's press conferences are more entertaining than anything the Texans will do on the field.
Wasn't Caserio in Foxboro with Newton last season? Do we think he would want to try again here in H-Town? No camp? Don't see it happening. This is just people nostalgic for a player that no longer exists.
I don't think Cam Newton would stop this team from stinking. At all. He's just a waste of cap space, to me.Look, I understand that some of you guys are wanting this team to stink it up as much as possible to get the best position for picks….
CAREER Comp. % Passer Rating TD % INT% Y/A Newton 60.1% 85.8 4.4 2.7 6.9 Taylor 61.4% 89.5 3.9 1.4 7.0

likely not, but they’d most definitely be better than they are currently are trending to be on offense.
Not me. Losers pick first.No one is saying he is still the player from 4-5 years ago. All I am saying is IMO he’s an upgrade at qb. How much, I dont know…

I couldn’t believe New England signed him after his Lisfranc & subsequent poor (got himself cut) performance in Carolina. He played just as poorly last season.
Just doesn’t make sense to think the last two seasons is not who Cam is now.
& believe me, I was a big CN fan back in the day.
His refusal to be vaccinated may lead to game forfeitures?
Belichick is just... I mean he couldn’t figure that out. Watch Miami snatch him up.he was playing fine until he and others on the team got COVID….and then Edelman decided to have surgery and end his season…..and then burkhead got hurt…
