Cam Newton led the Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl 50. Will he get a chance to get the six-time champion New England Patriots back to the big game?
Newton, the 2015 NFL MVP, reached agreement on a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the Patriots, league sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter.
Newton now will compete with Jarrett Stidham for the starting job after Tom Brady left for Tampa Bay in free agency.
Here is how the NFL reacted on Sunday:
I salute Coach Bill Belichick for that!
That’s Real. Congratulations Cam!— Jamal Adams (@Prez) June 29, 2020

Congratulations to @CameronNewton on signing with the @Patriots ! I wasn’t sure they would pull the trigger on signing him- but a great organization knows great talent, and accepts that talent into their program to keep winning alive and possible! Good luck Cam!
