So far, things are going very well when it comes to Cam Newton fitting in with the Patriots.
On Monday, during an appearance with The Greg Hill Show, Newton called his fit with the Patriots a "match made in heaven."
Newton only signed a one-year deal with New England late this summer, but ESPN's Mike Tannenbaum, a former NFL GM, believes an early storyline in the 2020 season could be when will Newton sign an extension with the Patriots?
"When you go back to Cam's MVP season, his top three weapons were Greg Olsen, Ted Ginn Jr. and Jerico Cochery," he said Monday on ESPN's 'Get Up.' "When you compare that to this group of weapons, albeit not perfect, Cam Newton has a good skill set to work with. I think this offense will be really hard to defend because it is going to be diverse -- RPOs, direct quarterback runs, Julian Edelman, running backs that can catch the ball.
"Mark my words, in two to three weeks, the early storyline that we will be talking about is when is Cam Newton getting that extension? Cam Newton Comeback Player of the Year. Can they keep up with Baltimore and Kansas City in the AFC?
"If, and it is a big if, Cam Newton stays healthy, I love this match and more importantly moving forward, I think he could be the Patriots quarterback for the next three, four, five years."
Newton signed a one-year deal with just over $1 million guaranteed and it is only worth up to $7.5 million.
Although the Patriots have second-year player Jarrett Stidham on the roster, if everything works out well with Newton, nothing is stopping them from signing him to an extension to make him the QB of the future.
