It's Cam!

Newton's return doesn't mean the Patriots are done at quarterback. They still have plenty of salary-cap space (they entered Friday with $56,316,719 according to Roster Management System) should an unexpected opportunity present itself in the future (e.g., Garoppolo), including in the 2021 NFL draft next month. A key point is that while Newton's contract is worth up to almost $14 million, about $6 million is tied to honors and how far the team might advance in the playoffs, per sources. It is a deal that they can walk away from with out any real pain.
 
what if they don't take a QB in round 1 which is entirely possible?
If BB wants to move to a more dual threat QB than Brady, you'd have to research all of the possible matches and go from there.

If BB builds up the defense heavily, at least he'd improve that part.
 
So why are you getting your knickers in a twist all over again? If he's filler, and BB is going after the future QB in the draft, what's the big deal?
 
I can't imagine any top FA receiver or TE wanting to sign to play with Cam. That is the worst part as we have to upgrade those positions.
