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.
Newton's shoulder is toast. I watched some of his MVP season on game pass. His velocity, release point etc. Is all very different than it is today. He's lost a ton in that arm. [Reply]
He was mostly healthy in 2018 and had a nice season. If the Patriots get 14 or more games from him they win the AFC East and may be the third-best team in the conference.
If he’s healthy and the Patriots are able to revitalize him a bit, they may challenge the Ravens for first runner-up to our Chiefs. [Reply]

Yep. Solid gamble. They signed him for pennies [Reply]
The fact that any team - let alone a belichek-coached team - would sign this guy after watching him not go after a fumble in the most important game of his life........staggering.
That ONE moment is all you need to know about Cam Newton. [Reply]

The Patriots are going to play like Baltimore this year. Run the ball and play defense. Belicheck doesn't care if Cam Newton gets run into the ground during his short time in New England. [Reply]

Gonna be a rude awakening for Cheatriots fans when they go 6-10 this year.
No one year deal is a desperation deal.
Fantastic signing by the Pats. No risk whatsoever for them. Seems like a good fit to me actually. Cam hasn't exactly had great WR play most years. At this point he's an underrated QB. Not worried about them overtaking the Chiefs but NE should improve bat QB in 2020 to 2021. Brady was6 garb last yr. [Reply]
