When Richard Sherman called Cam Newton’s contract with the New England Patriots “ridiculous,” we only knew the broad sketches of it.
Now we know the granular details. And Sherman appears to be even more right.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Newton — the 2015 NFL MVP — is guaranteed less than a million bucks this coming season.
Even taking into consideration Newton’s injuries the past two seasons, this feels like an absurd value for the Patriots at the sport’s most important position.
