Cam Newton is expected to return to the New England Patriots for the 2021 NFL season. According to multiple reports, Newton and the Pats are currently finalizing a new one-year deal.

Newton is reportedly expected to get a $14 million salary in 2021. He earned $1.05 million last season, signing a veteran’s minimum deal with New England in free agency.

Newton started 15 games for the Patriots in 2020, leading the team to a 7-8 record. He delivered some eye-catching performances and rushed for 592 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The issue, however, was that Newton was wildly inconsistent in the passing game. Despite completing 65.8 percent of his passes, he only managed to throw for 2,657 yards and had more picks than TDs (8-10).

After the season ended, Newton’s future with the organization was unclear, although the 31-year-old player was hopeful that he would remain in New England.

“I’m getting tired of changing, bro,” Newton told the I Am Athlete podcast. “I’m getting to a point in my career where I know way more than I knew last year.”

Before joining the Pats, Cam Newton spent nine years with the Carolina Panthers. He won the NFL MVP Award in 2015 and led the franchise to a Super Bowl 50 appearance.

The Panthers released Newton last offseason after he struggled with injuries and only played two games in 2019.

New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick rarely gives out praise, but recently made an exception in case of team’s new quarterback Cam Newton. And that’s before he even saw him suit up for Pats in a regular-season game.

During his recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Belichick spoke highly of Newton and said that he was impressed with how 2015’s NFL MVP handled learning a new offense. 

“Being with him every day, he’s an extremely hard-working player. First guy in, last one out type of guy,” said Belichick. “He’s really studied hard and has spent a lot of extra time trying to learn our offense, our communication, our calls, nomenclature. I’ve been very impressed with that. He’s done a very good job of picking it up. He’s a very skilled athlete.”

While all of this is probably true, it is still surprising to see Belichick hand out compliments to his players, especially those who just arrived. Usually, not a man of many words, there is a possibility that he’s taking a different approach with Newton in order to make him feel welcomed and have him buy into the “Patriots Way.”

Cam Newton, who spent the previous nine years with the Carolina Panthers, signed a one-year minimum deal with New England in the offseason. Newton is expected to be the Pats’ starting QB in 2020, facing competition from inexperienced Jarrett Stidham and veteran Brian Hoyer.

We already knew that the New England Patriots got themselves a bargain when they signed 2015’s NFL MVP Cam Newton last week. However, it turns out that Pats got an even better deal than everyone assumed.

NFL Network’s insider Ian Rapoport recently shared details of Newton’s one-year contract with New England, and it’s safe to say that the organization took minimum risk. According to Rapoport, the 31-year-old signal-caller will receive a yearly salary of $1.05 million, with only $550K guaranteed. For comparison, Newton had a base salary of $16.2 million in 2019 with Carolina Panthers.

However, if Newton manages to stay healthy and productive, he can significantly up his earnings. The contract includes $700,000 in roster bonuses, as well as $5.75 million in incentives, bringing up his potential salary to $7.5 million.

Despite the numbers, signing with Patriots might turn to be a career move for Cam Newton. He will work with arguably the best football coach in history and will enter the organization that puts winning above everything else. New England is also the only team at the moment where Newton can realistically start in Week 1, which is a must for him if he wants to bounce back from injury-riddled two past seasons.
