Details Emerge Of Cam Newton One-Year Deal With New England

Veteran quarterback Cam Newton agreed to a one-year deal with the New England Patriots. We don’t have many details about his contract, but we do know that it’s “incentive-laden.” We also know that Bobby Bonilla will receive more money than Newton. What does this mean?

The Patriots can also franchise tag the former Carolina Panthers quarterback in 2021. Now we have an in-depth look at the deal Newton has at the moment.

Jason La Canfora from CBS Sports gave us a look into the deal. This contract gives Newton just $550,000 guaranteed. There’s up to $6.45 in incentives. There’s no restriction on the 2021 franchise tag. In other words, the Patriots got the 2015 MVP for less than most teams offer for a backup offensive lineman.

What made the Patriots pull out such a move. Newton can make these money in case he hits the incentives. He will definitely try to prove his worth. Let’s not forget that he sustained a lot of injuries in the last few seasons. Newton had two shoulder surgeries in the last three years. He had to stay on the sidelines in 2019 after suffering a foot fracture.

Cam Newton to upgrade his game in New England

The Patriots got a talented quarterback for little money. Reports suggest that the Patriots were the only team to show interest in getting Newton. Most of this comes as a result of the fact that Newton couldn’t workout with teams. NFL teams don’t really sign a new player without seeing him on the field.

But, Belichick doesn’t mind any of this. He has seen Newton play. He likes his style. Patriots players like him too. Veteran wideout Mohamed Sanu likes his new teammate, and praised his leadership skills.

Newton will enter an unknown environment, but he has all the talent to fit in the Patriots’ locker room. Oh, yes, he has already worked out with Sanu. They are more than ready to level up their game and prove doubters wrong. The Patriots will enter the new season without Tom Brady and they will use his departure as a motivation to go for the Super Bowl.
