Jeremy Fowler of ESPN said Newton isn't going to get paid in Seattle but the team might still allow him to play in some fashion, although Wilson is the starter.
"The Seahawks would be open to adding Newton — they get more creative with the free-agent market than most — but wouldn’t pay much for a backup quarterback. Maybe that doesn’t matter to Newton, who can prioritize fit over contract as he attempts to reignite his career. He would fit seamlessly in Seattle’s offense, and starting jobs simply aren’t available."
Newton is still available because the Draft is over and Teams have their starting quarterbacks. This isn't surprising due to the time of the football year.
Seattle doesn't need Newton, they have Wilson, and they could find anyone to hold a clipboard. So if Newton cannot get on board with the Idea of standing on the sideline (like he stated) and being the man to prep the defense for the next opponent, he might as well look to the north.
Per Maximo Gonzales, "Newton has reportedly suggested that he is not looking to serve as an immediate backup in the 2020 NFL season."
Will Newton listen to his former tight end Greg Olsen and go to Seattle? Just how much is Olsen lobbying for the Birds of the north west to sign Newton anyways?
Newton is not going to be on a team, get paid, and play, if he's looking for all three; he'll sit out during 2020 and it's the same if he's just looking to get paid. His best bet is to negotiate a contract that requires the team to get creative and use him a few snaps a game. That could be something Seattle would be interested in.
Sports fans stay tuned and Remember Supercam is just a man, maybe he goes play in Korea, Japan, or the CFL in another land.
