Indy? Not if Wentz returns shortly.
New Orleans -- I still think Jamies will have a good year and Cam isn't going to fit into what Payton wants to do offensively at all.
Philly - Maybe. Might even be a quality backup option for Hurts.
Houston - What does Cam Newton actually do well that Tyrod Taylor doesn't? They're both underneath passers these days who's legs present their biggest strengths. I'm not sure Cam actually would be an upgrade over Taylor. I'm pretty sure they're 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. And Taylor has always been smart with the football if nothing else. And fairly precise underneath. Newton's not either of those things.
I'm just not sure what Cam Newton, with his diminished arm strength and scattershot accuracy, actually brings to the table anymore. The risk/reward was always in his favor when he could break a run or fire a bomb downfield, but he's more of a power runner when he takes off now and his arm doesn't stretch the field anymore.
What's he actually do
well at this point in his career? Or even average? He takes more off the table than he brings to it anymore.
