NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport reports that Newton’s contract with New England could be worth up to $7.5 million. However, his salary is expected to be mostly based on incentives.

Newton, who was the most prominent name left on the free-agent market, is expected to be in the mix for the position of Pats’ starting QB in Week 1. His competition includes second-year player Jarrett Stidham and veteran signal-caller, Brian Hoyer.

Cam Newton spent his entire career with Carolina Panthers, serving as the face of the franchise since being selected No.1 in 2011. During his time in Carolina, he led the Panthers to four postseason appearances and the first Super Bowl in the organization’s history.

However, in the past couple of seasons, Newton struggled with injuries and was limited to just two games in 2019 due to Lisfranc fracture. The health issues, and occasional inconsistency, eventually cost him his job as Panthers released him back in March, deciding to start fresh on the QB position as part of the major organizational overhaul.

During his nine seasons in the NFL, Newton established himself as the game’s best dual-threat quarterback. He has 29,041 career passing yards and 182 passing touchdowns alongside 4,806 rushing yards and 58 rushing TDS. His career achievements include three Pro Bowl appearances and NFL MVP award from 2015.

Many believed that Newton’s best chance to land a starting spot this year were Los Angeles Chargers, who were also viewed as the best fit from a football standpoint. As it turns out, Chargers had a similar idea before opting to move forward with veteran Tyrod Taylor and second-year player Easton Stick and spend the No.6 overall pick on Oregon’s signal-caller Justin Herbert.

“We did take a look at that,” Chargers’ head coach Anthony Lynn said when asked whether they were interested in Newton.

Still, according to Lynn, he felt optimistic about the players he currently has on his disposal.

“I feel really good about the quarterback room that I have,” he added. “With Tyrod Taylor, Easton Stick — those are guys that a lot of people don’t talk about, but he was a Division I AA — he won like three national championships. He’s a hell of a leader, hell of a professional, and I think he has a bright future in this league one day.”

Since being released by Carolina Panthers in late March, Cam Newton was linked with several teams, but neither made him a good enough proposal. According to reports, Newton is now considering to enter the regular season as a free agent and wait until an opportunity opens up for a starting gig. It’s unclear whether he’s willing to take up a backup role.

Panthers’ have allowed Newton to seek a trade last week, but no NFL team was willing to give anything substantial for the 2015’s NFL MVP. Moving Allen proved to be a lot easier, as they received a fifth-round pick from the Redskins for the 24-year-old.

By moving Newton and Allen, the Panthers are now left with a clear quarterback situation. Teddy Bridgewater, who recently signed as a free agent, will be team’s starter for 2020, while last year’s third-round pick Will Grier will back him up.

Cam Newton should have plenty of suitors now that he’s a free agent, but only if he proves he’s healthy. Newton missed 16 games in the past two seasons, struggling with shoulder and foot injuries. This was one of the reasons why the team was not willing to surrender significant assets to get him.

When healthy, however, Newton is a game-changing quarterback. He is known for his mobility and has even improved as a passer in recent years. If he manages to land in the right kind of situation, with New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers being among options, there is no doubt that the 30-year-old can get his career back on track.

Kyle Allen, on the other hand, will get reunited with former Panthers’ head coach Ron Rivera in Washington. Allen is expected to fight for the starting spot with the 2019’s first-round pick Dwayne Haskins.
