Cam Newton Joins Patriots, New England 10-1 to Win AFC Championship
BetOnline Sunday evening had the New England Patriots at 10/1 odds to win the AFC Championship with news that Cam Newton had signed a one-year deal to replace Tom Brady.
Mike Weiss of ESPN writes that the Patriots did not select a quarterback in April's draft, with 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham and 11-year veteran Brian Hoyer atop the depth chart.
A source familiar with the Patriots' thinking said the agreement with Newton was appealing to the team as a low-risk, high-reward situation, factoring in Newton's health, modest contract, and New England's transition at quarterback without Brady.
