The Cincinnati Bengals were in desperate need of adding talent to their linebacker room, a unit that has struggled endlessly in recent history.

History has former MVP Cam Newton, Patriots in playoffs
Now, Cam Newton is headed to New England and it might well be that the Patriots making the playoffs are once more a foregone conclusion. Having signed the 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player, New England became just the sixth team in NFL history to add a former MVP quarterback to its roster after having made the playoffs the prior season, according to NFL Research.

State of the Franchise: More magic from Tannehill, Titans?
For years, it seemed like the Titans were waiting for someone to take them to the next level. Not many thought it would be a former top-10 pick on the verge of locking into the "journeyman QB" career track, and who once played wide receiver in college (at least for one year). But Ryan Tannehill sparked one of the most exciting seasons in Titans history since their fabled run to the Super Bowl. And while they fell short of their ultimate goal, they head into 2020 riding very strong vibes.
