Cam Newton is officially a New England Patriot, with the team officially announcing the deal Wednesday evening.
Normally, this step in the signing process is more of a formality. However, there was some concern with Newton, who had some injury issues in the past. The deal officially going through means that Newton did not encounter any problems with his physical and should be good to go.
The news does not come as a complete surprise as reports indicated that Newton was not expected to run into any injury red flags. However, Wednesday’s news now removes any doubt.
