Knows the culture
As referenced, we have McDermott and Beane to consider here. Those two have their background rooted in the same place that Newton does, Carolina. Do we need to say more?
But if the unthinkable sort of thing does happen and Newton joins the the Bills, that could be a big key.
Suiting up with the Bills would put Newton in a position as a backup for the first time in his pro career, at least right off the bat. As an outspoken type of player, it’d be curious to see how he would react to being a backup.
Well, worry no more about that. His roots with the Panthers would probably create some trust all around. The Bills front office would know him first hand, and trust the way he’d treat the situation, if they did sign him. Newton would also know what to expect from them as well.
Maybe this would only be a one-year type of deal, but that trust could go the distance in such a situation.
