cam newton is free

cam newton deserved better

After nine seasons with the Carolina Panthers, former NFL MVP quarterback Cam Newton is on the move. While most were expecting a trade, the system is completely fucked right now and Newton was released.

The #Panthers tried to send Cam Newton to the #Bears and #Chargers. They found no takers and at this point, no starting jobs available. Release was the only option. Carolina has just $2M in dead money with this release, but Cam is now free.

Imagine picking Nick Foles' contract over Cam Newton​'s. You can't!

In my opinion, Newton still has something left in the tank as long as he goes to the right place. The Los Angeles Chargers should be signing him yesterday; the Washington Redskins could also be a landing spot.

breshad perriman to the jets

The New York Jets signed (alleged) wide receiver Breshad Perriman to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million.

Former Bucs’ WR Breshad Perriman is signing with the Jets on a one-year deal for worth up to $8 million, including $6 million guaranteed, per @RosenhausSports.

Perriman went against my wildest hopes last season with the Tampa Bay Bucs and actually played pretty decently. Hopefully he can keep that going in New York with Sam Darnold. I don't think he's an adequate replacement for Robby Anderson, however.

other notable signings:

• 49ers sign WR Travis Benjamin
  
• Packers sign WR Devin Funchess
  
• Seahawks sign WR Phillip Dorsett
  
• Broncos sign P Sam Martin (finally, some punter news!)
• Chiefs re-sign DT Mike Pennel​ - had other offers, but wanted to stay in Kansas City
