Cam Newton is on the move again, now stepping into the shoes of Binghamton Sniper quarterback Aaron Rodgers. As always, the return on a quarterback trade is what will draw curiosity.
BINGHAMTON ACQUIRES QB CAM NEWTON
PAWNEE ACQUIRES RB AARON JONES & WR ROGER LEWIS
So Cam Newton moves back into an every week role, taking the reins with in Binghamton- his third team in six weeks. All things considered, this is one of the better scenarios following the crushing Aaron Rodgers' injury. Newton has as much upside, though not nearly the floor of the man he is replacing. With the Snipers grinding their way out of an 0-4 start, they'll take the wager on big Superman #1 and hope to extend their modest two game winning streak through the midpoint of their inaugural season.
They give up what amount to spare parts- but useful ones with obvious upside. Aaron Jones went off when given a primary role, and with the slightly built Ty Montgomery ahead of him, odds are he'll get some chances for volume again in the future; With the more typical skill set and a lesser QB linign up, he may get some more play ANYWAY. With Melvin Gordon and Kareem Hunt at the top of the depth chart the Pride will put no onus on the kid making this is a great upside play that could pay dividends with bye weeks still on the docket.
Perhaps the more interesting get is Roger Lewis, who has ascended to de facto Z-status through injury. Likely nothing more than an average talent, opportunity lends him upside- think Kamar Aiken circa 2015. With Stefon Diggs and Jordan Matthews both questionable the team was forced to start Tanner Gentry in week six. Lewis should see a lot more targets over the course of the season and is a viable flex until he proves otherwise.
