Source: With market cool, Cam may wait to sign

With league sources saying that the market to sign Cam Newton has cooled over the past month, the veteran quarterback is expected to take his time before joining a team, a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Newton could wait until teams resume regular activity following the shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. That could give teams the chance to check Newton’s health and meet with him in person.

Sources around the league aren’t sure whether Newton would take a backup job.

League sources believe Newton and the New England Patriots talked early during his free agency but nothing materialized.
