Patriots News: Cam Newton's Contract Details Make Signing Look Even Better

A few days after news broke that the New England Patriots were signing Cam Newton, the details of his contract were released. They make the Patriots' decision to bring in the OB look even better. The one-year deal has a $1.05 million minimum base salary, with $550 thousand guaranteed and up to $6.45 million in incentives and per game bonuses.

There's no clause prohibiting the Patriots from placing the franchise tag on Newton in 2021. This was a no-brainer deal for the Patriots who can fit him under the cap and won't lose much if they need to release Newton prior to the season.
