Quarterback Cam Newton accepted a one-year contract with the New England Patriots on Sunday.
This was what the ESPN network said on Sunday. The amount of this agreement would be the minimum allowed by the NFL. According to the NFL Network, he could raise $ 7.5 million if he gets all of his bonuses.
On March 24, the 31-year-old athlete was released by the Carolina Panthers. Newton was the first round pick (1st overall) of this formation during the 2011 draft.
In the last season, the kingpin suffered a fractured left foot, which limited him to just two games. He has also been plagued by several other injuries in the past few years.
In career, the recipient of the NFL MVP in 2015 has 29,041 aerial yards and 4,806 more rushing. He also threw 182 touchdown passes and crossed the goal line 58 times with the ball in hand.
For their part, the “Pats” are looking for a replacement for Tom Brady, who has chosen to pursue his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Also according to ESPN, Newton has not obtained any guarantees regarding its use by the Patriots. During training camp, he will have to fight with pivots Brian Hoyer, Brian Lewerke and Jarrett Stidham for the number 1 position.
