New England Patriots Sign QB Cam Newton

The New England Patriots have their new quarterback – we think. The Patriots have reportedly reached an agreement with Cam Newton according to NFL guru Adam Schefter.

One year deal for Cam

Schefter tweeted out on Sunday evening that Cam Newton and the Patriots have reached agreement on a one-year, incentive-laden deal for the 2020 season.

Former NFL MVP Cam Newton has reached agreement on a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the New England Patriots, league sources tell @mortreport and me.

Newton now will step into the mix to try to help replace former Patriots’ QB Tom Brady.

The 31-year-old Newton, who has played his entire career in the NFC with the Carolina Panthers, will now compete with several others on the Patriots staff to be the heir apparent to Tom Brady.

Jarrett Stidham era on hold?

With Newton signing a one-year deal with New England, does this mean the Jarrett Stidham era has been put on hold?

It was just a few weeks ago that Stidham was getting early praise from NFL insiders. Now it seems that these two former Auburn Tigers will battle for the No. 1 spot this fall.

Stay tuned.
