Cam Newton Playing for Pete Carroll would be interesting but as Gary Myers has shown us, Rumors don't mean anything.

Cam Newton to the Seahawks? At this point Whinny players can't be choosy, if they wanna work in the NFL.

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.

Seahawks could Re-sign troubled player Josh Gordon

The Patriots stood by Gordon and paid for his rehab to make sure the wide receiver got the help he needed for his addiction. Gordon did not have the 2019 the Patriots thought he would have, however.

In the six games he played for the Patriots, he had 20 catches on 36 Targets, for 287 yards and and 1 touchdown. Gordon started having issues and there were reports that Gordon kept sneaking off. 

On Halloween of 2019, Jeff Kerr of CBS reported that the Patriots were going to release Josh Gordon. Who then signed with the Seahawks. 

During his time with the Seahawks, Gordon had 7 catches in 5 games. For 139 yards and 0 touchdowns; Before being suspended.

This is Gordon's fifth suspension for substance abuse. However, according to Nico Beato of Clutch Points, the Seahawks are ready to resign Gordon should he be allowed to play.

"it looks like the interest between Gordon and the Seahawks is mutual."

Beato quoted quarterback Jake Heap of saying "From my understanding, they’re going to have zero hesitation bringing him back if he’s available. A guy with that kind of talent and with that little of responsibility, I’m perfectly OK with that situation.”

At some point the risk to resign Gordon is going to out way the rewards and or the NFL is going to tell the troubled wideout,  "NO MORE!" Until then all we can do is wait and see if Gordon will be allowed to play a partial season because he has shown us that playing a full season is unrealistic
