Cam Newton's wait to find a new team could drag on

Cam Newton's free agency might not end soon.

The quarterback wants to be a starter in the NFL in 2020, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday. The problem, though, is there really aren't any starting jobs available right now.

The combined reality of a lack of openings and an inability to receive an in-person medical examination because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic makes for an unpredictable road ahead. There seemed to be some room for Newton in Los Angeles, but that came to an end when the Chargers spent the sixth-overall pick on Oregon passer Justin Herbert.

Now, the room for a gig is nonexistent. That likely won't last forever, though. There's a reason a handful of teams spent first-round picks on quarterbacks over the weekend.

The lack of on-field activity happening due to the pandemic's restrictions placed on society means an opening isn't coming tomorrow. This wait could drag into the summer for Newton, who was the league's MVP less than five years ago and is still just 30 years old.

I wonder if the "Drag" in their title could have "other" meanings?

I am wagering on the Pats. As weird as it may seem.

I was thinking that early this morning when I was listening to the talking heads discussing the fact that Billicheat did not draft a quarterback this time around.

Wouldn't that be the great story..> Cam goes to Patriots wins Conference, Brady goes to Tampa, wins Conference -> SuperBowl Patriots vs Bucs, with a big Patriots win and Cam gets a SB Ring..Tom Brady retires....

Would be bitter sweet.

My worst fear is Cam leads the pats to a SB, or Brady does it for tb. Please play great other 30 teams... I'd b better with tom getting another w/o bellicheck. Wouldn't mind cam doing it with any other team!

You guys are getting too SAPPY in your old age. It's time to sever ties. I'm not saying to root against Cam, just don't root for him.!! Same goes for Tom Shady. Why would you want him to win anything...????

I'd MUCH rather see......well, anyone else win a SB. ANYONE.!!

That picture of Cam .. ^^^ up there ^^^ says it all. Once he started dressing like 'Little Red Riding Hood', I lost all respect.
