The Athletic’s Patriots Insider Jeff Howe and Rich discuss the shocking news that the Patriots have released Cam Newton after he was beaten out by rookie QB Mac Jones, if Cam’s unvaccinated status played a role in Bill Belichick’s decision-making process, and the impact of All-Pro Stefon Gilmore being placed on the PUP List for the first 6 weeks of the season.

Rich and TJ Jefferson re-visit Chris Brockman bashing the Patriots for drafting Jones and why he’s now fully on board with the team’s new starting QB, and why Cam Newton’s release ratchets up the pressure on the Bears to make rookie Justin Fields their starting QB over veteran Andy Dalton.
