Cam Newton landing spots Ranking 15 pote

didn't waste much time after the conclusion of the 2020 NFL Draft finding a new home, ending a nearly two-month stint on the free agent market by to back up .But , Emmitt Smith Jersey one of the last notable quarterbacks besides Winston to remain unsigned, still has no clear path to a new job.With the draft long in the books and teams diving deeper into their virtual offseason programs, here's a look at 15 teams that either once looked like candidates to add Newton or could still be in the mix for the longtime star:Forget about it : The old Carolina connections could've drawn Newton to serve as Josh Allen's big-bodied insurance, but with and now -- a younger, cheaper Matt Barkley -- in tow, there's not a lot of room. : As soon as the Bears traded for , they bowed out of the Newton sweepstakes, even if his style would've been an intriguing add for Matt Nagy. (Chicago, by the way, probably made the right choice.) :From a brand standpoint, this would've been a perfect match, with Cam bringing charisma to Jerry World as Dak Prescott's backup. The Cowboys have since added Andy Dalton, though, filling the role of veteran No. 2. :This long made the most sense, especially with L.A. touting a roster ready to compete Dallas Cowboys Golf Sporting Goods in 2020. But then Tom Telesco stuck to his first-round plan and drafted Justin Herbert No. 6 overall. And then Anthony Lynn, who's already talked up his familiarity with likely Week 1 starter Tyrod Taylor, before saying, "No, thanks." : For a while, had no confirmed backup for 2020, and the Seahawks haven't been averse to a big name potentially sitting behind Wilson, once considering for the No. 2 job. But then they re-signed Geno Smith, ensuring a veteran arm will be in the building. : Newton would've been their kind of move, not only because they have a penchant for adding veterans and might be iffy on but because Ron Rivera and some of Newton's most familiar supporters reside on their staff. Still, Rivera put the nail in the coffin when he traded for , apparently his newly preferred Panthers QB.Don't count on it : landed a two-year deal to back up this offseason, but Newton is obviously the more accomplished veteran. Still, John Elway is probably OK riding out 2020 with what he's got after giving Lock all kinds of new Emmitt Smith T Shirts toys. gave him enough of a taste of a big, aging and injured signal-caller in 2019. : They traded Foles and only added in the sixth round, ensuring will get his shot to be QB1. With still around as the backup, it's just hard to see them bothering with Newton, whose celebrity would invite calls to bench Minshew -- and mirror the spotlight of guys they've shipped out or tried to (i.e. , ).Minnesota Vikings: Sean Mannion shouldn't cut it as Kirk Cousins' backup, even though Cousins has been incredibly durable as a starter. Newton would look good in purple, might warrant some gadget runs in a ground-heavy offense and brings the gunslinging attitude of their seventh-round QB, Nate Stanley. Still, would Mike Zimmer ever sign off on such a dramatic addition? : They could've easily signed him by now, even as camp competition, if they wanted to. Maybe they'll change their mind in the summer, but at this point, calling up the to bring back probably makes more sense. All signs indicate the Pats simply aren't interested, either because of his health, his personality or something else. New York Jets: Adam Gase would a suredly love a better emergency plan behind Sam Darnold after the Luke Falk Experiment, and Newton would be a New York media darling. Problem is, neither Gase nor GM Joe Douglas probably have much interest in putting a former MVP behind Darnold, who's already under pre sure to live up to his own hype.Pittsburgh Steelers: From a purely football perspective, this makes sense. The Steelers want to win now with their ferocious defense, and they saw in 2019 what a subpar backup QB plan can do to your playoff chances. It's just hard to imagine them "endorsing" Ben Roethlisberger's return by adding such a big personality in Newton, even as the backup. They've also stood by Mason Rudolph.Logical and DeMarcus Lawrence Jersey po sible : They've built around , but now they need better Murray insurance. Ownership hasn't been afraid to get bold for big-name additions this offseason (see: Hopkins, DeAndre), and Newton shouldn't command much money at this point. He's a clear upgrade on , and Kliff Kingsbury would surely have no i sue adapting the offense for such a notable No. 2 Dak Prescott Jersey . Baltimore Ravens:They liked Robert Griffin III enough to give him a second contract as Lamar Jackson's No. 2, but come on: You just know John Harbaugh and Greg Roman would drool at the chance to plug Newton into their mobile-QB machine. It'd be a luxury move more than anything, which is why it's still unlikely, but Cam almost certainly wouldn't be opposed.Los Angeles Rams: The Rams are financially married to Jared Goff, but they just restructured his deal for a reason. They also just need a backup anyway. On paper, it makes sense: Newton gets to bask in the L.A. spotlight for a potential playoff contender, and Sean McVay gets his most talented dual-threat option since RGIII -- and an emergency starter in the event Goff keeps regre sing.
