The New England Patriots are releasing veteran Cam Newton and rookie Mac Jones will be the starter after the two battled for the quarterback job since training camp, a source said.

Honestly, after last season I'm amazed it took this long.

I assume Belichick was giving Cam a chance to improve and some free cash before he inevitably was back on the market. I really think stuff like that happens more than we know.

Bill Barnwell has written a column the last few years where he uses numbers and history to predict the 5 teams that will decline. He's 16 of 20 on these predictions with three matching their previous record and one team beating their prior year's be a game.

Here are his five predictions for 2021:
Buffalo Bills (13-3)
KC Chiefs (14-2)
Cleveland Browns (11-5)
GB Packers (13-3)
Tennessee Titans (11-5)

Catt, insert the RmindMe tag here. (We need a button for that.)

That vs .500 or worse stat is just weird. Unless it's padded by coasting through CLE and CIN at the end of the year in meaningless games.

Sadly, those games pad the win column in that stat...

I'm telling you, Tomlin is crazy overrated.

Panthers cut Joey Slye, pick up Ryan Santoso, who you've never heard of.

The dude is a K, right? He's 6'5" and 260 lbs. He also has a sweet stache.

Undrafted in 2018, keeps kicking around camps, and finally got signed. Has never made a regular season appearance.

To be fair, Haskins has the talent, but we had no idea he was such a behavioral case. They run a tight ship in Columbus.

Meanwhile, Jones absolutely does suck.

I'll be watching Ryan Santoso.

Meyer and Jags under investigation over vaccine status being considered during cuts.

If two guys in camp are close, but one could miss a week due to covid while the other could miss 4 weeks...

Yeah, well, the pros let them be themselves, or something...

I'm waiting for the first highlight of him laying out some poor punt returner.

Yeah, it's totally logical. They appear to have kept AT LEAST one player who did not get vaccinated, so it clearly wasn't the only factor. Stupid investigation.

The Saints are preparing to be away from New Orleans for the first month of the season after Hurricane Ida battered the city. Factors including concerts at potential sites make finding a new home tricky.

Houston's new starting QB is not Watson.

ESPN simulated the season.

I don't buy it because the WTFers didn't win their division, but the Steelers' results were really accurate because they're so Tomlin.
