‘A low-risk, high-reward signing: If Newton is healthy, earns the starting job, plays well and returns to something resembling his former self, the Patriots are in business. The defense is the strength of that team anyway. They’ll be a good team with a decent quarterback.’

Signing Newton changes odds in AFC East
‘The Bills were listed at 13/10 odds to end that streak this coming season with the Pats tabbed for second at 17/10. But with the signing of Newton, as of Monday, both Buffalo and New England are viewed as a toss-up to claim the AFC East, at 13/10.’
Bills’ Josh Allen explains how he’s relied on Jets QB Sam Darnold

Cam Newton in New England signing should give Bills fans pause
‘With Newton in charge, I’d give the Patriots a winning record and a wild card spot. Of course, all of that hinges on how healthy the 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player will be after the shoulder injury and coming off a foot injury that shortened his 2019 season to just two games.’
Winners and Losers of Cam Newton Signing With New England Patriots
‘By no means is the AFC East a lock for the Patriots with Newton under center, but for teams like the Bills and Jets this seemed like their best chance to finally dethrone New England. The Bills, in particular, should still not be overlooked with their stingy defense and addition of Stefon Diggs to their receiving corps, but the path to AFC East supremacy is once again that much more difficult if a healthy Newton is leading the Patriots offense.’

5 opinions on the Bills heading into the summer break
‘”I think the Bills have the best defense, first of all,” Mariucci explained. “That really helps Josh. I think outside of Lamar Jackson, he’s probably the most athletic guy we’re talking about in terms of escaping, extending plays, running with the ball, making first downs with his legs and all of that. In his third year, adding weapons like Diggs. I like their running backs — Zack Moss is a good player from Utah. It will be a nice 1-2 punch with Devin Singletary and Yeldon. He just has a lot of things going for him. I think they’re all going to take a leap forward. Hopefully he is what everybody expects and he becomes the franchise quarterback for a long time.”‘
