Patriots cut Cam Newton: Cowboys, Texans among landing spots for the former league MVP

After New England released Newton, here's a look at where the QB could wind up

Cam Newton's tenure in New England has come to an end. On the day all 32 NFL teams must shrink their rosters down to 53 players, the Patriots have reportedly elected to release the veteran quarterback, signaling that first-round rookie Mac Jones is now in line to be the team's starter to begin the 2021 regular season.  On the surface, the news comes as quite a surprise. After all, Newton had received the bulk of first-team reps throughout the summer and had started all three of the Patriots' preseason contests. He also looked much more comfortable within New England's offense than he did a year ago. Alas, the Patriots are beginning a new era with Jones now under center and Newton is once again looking for a new home somewhere in the NFL.  In the aftermath of his release, here are a trio landing spots that could make sense for the former league MVP.
