The New England Patriots replaced a former NFL MVP – Tom Brady – with another on Sunday when they signed on Cam Newton to fill the void Brady had left.
31-year-old Newton signed a one-year, incentive contract worth up to $ 7.5 million, league sources Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter of ESPN said.
The contract structure, as well as Newton’s 2019 injury-related campaign, followed by a long wait to sign a contract, suggest that it can’t be seen as a blockade to start before Jarrett Stidham’s second year. Patriots NFL Nation reporter Mike Reiss agreed, noting that both Newton and Stidham are jokers and sees this as “a real open competition”.
So the question is, how do we adjust our thinking in fantasy.
