I only bring this up in here as all the pundits seem to say the reason he was released was his status of vaccination.
Its understandable with the league rules, he just may not be worth the headache. The league put in rules that are different for vaccinated and unvaccinated players and Newton may not be worth to the Pats as say Beasley is to the Bills.
It seems like a Kaepernick situation brewing in a way.
Now if you say he just wasnt good enough to keep than Id probably write it off as he is older and ready to be sent off and wouldnt give it another thought.

Eh, all you've had to see was his play last year to know he was only a stopgap. I'm sure ESPTMZ would love to make this about the vaccination but I think it's mostly about the fact that he's washed.
