Cam Newton arrived in New England for his pre-scheduled medical exam today. He put paper on a $ 1.5 million contract (up to $ 6.25 million in additional incentives) earlier this week. Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick and the rest of the Patriots are preparing for life after Tom Brady. Can Cam Newton be the missing piece of the puzzle?
Newton’s move to New England is a smart bet for all parties involved
Former Miami Dolphins CEO Mike Tannenbaum is optimistic about Cam Newton’s recent move to the New England Patriots. While speaking ESPN show Get Up, Said Tannenbaum “Cam Newton, former number one choice. A former Heisman Trophy winner, for whatever reason, he was there in June.
“Even though Stidham has started the opening day, Cam Newton will play a ton this year. The word I would use is that he “invests” in his future with Bill Belichick. I think it’s an excellent decision by Cam for the next part of his career. “
Can Cam Newton lead the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl trophy?
Tannenbaum also said Cam is a potential asset to the Patriots this season. Newton, widely regarded as a double threat QB, could fill the New England void that was left after the departure of legendary QB Tom Brady. “Cam Newton fits in perfectly with these runners in New England. I think it’s really smart. Football is a game of chess played on the grass. Bill Belichick will take the best pieces he has this year to put them in the best chance of success.
“The risk / reward for both parties is very logical. AFC East is going to be totally different because New England will be much more difficult to defend with Newton than it would have been with Stidham. “ Said Tannenbaum.
The former Heisman Trophy winner has healed several injuries in the final years of his tenure with the Panthers. Newton had been a free agent since 2019 before signing a year-long contract with the Patriots last week. Jarett Stidham is slated to start for the Patriots this year, but Newton could fight for a place in Belichick’s O line.
