Former NFL GM Says Steelers Should Sign Cam Newton

SJ - October 5, 2021

The Steelers are off to a miserable 1-3 start. 39-year-old Ben Roethlisberger is looking every bit of his age, despite working out this off-season to get in the best shape of his life.

Big Ben's farewell tour could get a lot uglier. Former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum wants the Steelers to go sign Cam Newton immediately and bench Roethlisberger whenever Cam is ready.

His thoughts weren't exactly well received on ESPN's "Get Up," but social media seems to like the idea.

.@RealTannenbaum has some advice for the Steelers 👀

"Go sign Cam Newton to a two-year deal. ... When I'm negotiating with San Francisco and Green Bay in the offseason for Jimmy Garoppolo and Aaron Rodgers, I want as much leverage in that negotiation as possible." pic.twitter.com/OynNLFSL1O

Why not go get Cam? 1-3 to start the season is a pretty big hole that it doesn't look like the current version of Roethlisberger will be able to crawl out of.
