Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is about to be officially off the market.
According to Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen Sunday evening Newton has now come to terms on a one-year contract with the New England Patriots. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, that one-year contract can be worth up to $7.5 million as it includes several incentives.
Newton, who was released by the Panthers back on March 24, will join a Patriots quarterback room that currently includes Jarrett Stidham, Brian Hoyer and rookies Brian Lewerke and J’Mar Smith. He had been with the Panthers since being selected first overall by them in the 2011 NFL Draft out of Auburn.
