Cam Newton did very little last season to prove he is still capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL, but the New England Patriots still feel like he has something to offer.
Newton has agreed to re-sign with the Patriots on a one-year deal reportedly worth $14 million.
Newton struggled in 2020, finishing with 2,657 yards passing, eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He did, however, sign with New England very late in what was already a shortened offseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Newton also missed time early in the year after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The Patriots have been linked to a number of veteran quarterbacks this off-season like Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo, but Newton is familiar with the offense and a very inexpensive option.
