Patriots ink QB Cam Newton to one-year, incentive laden contract

You didn’t think the New England Patriots were going to give up and let this season go , did you?

They may have lost Tom Brady, but they have officially replaced him with a bonafide veteran quarterback who has an MVP under his belt.

The team announced Sunday that they have signed free agent Cam Newton to a one-year deal with incentives that could earn him as much as $7.5 million.

The 31-year old had been looking for a new team since being released by the Carolina Panthers in March. He had been with that for his entire nine-year NFL tenure, leading them to the Super Bowl in 2015 (which they lost) and amassing 29,041 passing yards, 2371 pass completions and 182 touchdowns in 125 combined games.
