The move sees Newton re-joining the team he led to the Super Bowl in 2015 and spent most of his NFL career with. It is also the team that unexpectedly decided to release him after the 2019 season.

The Panthers confirmed the news on their social media on Thursday.

This unlikely scenario happened because both sides needed each other. Newton was without a team after being cut by the New England Patriots in the offseason and struggled to find a job. The Panthers, on the other hand, were thin at the quarterback position after starter Sam Darnold suffered a shoulder injury that will sideline him for four to six weeks.

According to ESPN, Newton’s will earn a $4.5 million guaranteed salary for the remainder of the season while pocketing an additional $1.5 million in roster bonus. He will be able to earn up to $10 million combined based on bonuses.

It is unclear whether Newton will step in as a starter right away or if the Panthers will wait and see what they have in backup P.J. Walker. Head coach Matt Rhule announced earlier this week that Walker will be under center in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, but that was before they signed Newton.

Cam Newton entered the NFL as Carolina’s first overall pick in 2011. In his first stint with the franchise, he led the team to three NFC South titles and four postseason appearances while making Pro Bowl three times and earning the NFL MVP Award in 2015. The Panthers decided to release Newton in early 2020 after he struggled with injuries for a couple of previous seasons.

Newton spent the last season with the Patriots, making 15 starts and leading the franchise to a 7-8 record.

New England’s head coach Bill Belichick was tight-lipped about his plans for the quarterback position throughout the preseason. Still, nothing indicated that the Pats were preparing to cut ties with Newton. It was believed that the 2015’s NFL MVP would end up getting the nod to start while Jones, who was the No. 15 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, sits behind him and learns the intricacies of quarterbacking at the NFL level.

Still, it appears that Jones’ good performances in the preseason and maturity he showed since joining New England prompted Belichick to give him the starting role right away. The Alabama product also drew praise from the Pats’ veterans, with offensive tackle Trent Brown saying that the rookie “can be special” and special teamer Matthew Slater calling him “a great young man”.

Jones completed 36 out of 52 passes attempted in three preseason games while throwing for 389 yards and one touchdown. He had a great training camp as well and impressed in a recent joint practice with the New York Giants.

Newton, on the other hand, had 162 passing yards with one score and one interception in the preseason action.

Cam Newton joined the Pats ahead of the 2020 NFL campaign after being released by the Carolina Panthers. He started 15 games, leading New England to a 7-8 record and throwing for 2,657 yards and eight touchdowns.

Newton re-signed with the Pats in March, inking a one-year deal that had a potential value of $13.6 million.

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.
