The New England Patriots officially announced the signing of quarterback Cam Newton on Wednesday.
Newton reportedly signed with the Patriots over a week ago and already begun working with some of his teammates. Newton, 31, signed a one-year deal that’s incentive-laden — giving him $550,000 guaranteed and a max of $7.5 million. He’s earned around $121 million from his NFL earnings alone and has racked up endorsement money through his career.
Newton’s coming off a nine-year stint with the Carolina Panthers that cultivated a Super Bowl appearance and an NFL MVP award. The Patriots lost their 20-year starter in Tom Brady and will likely look to Newton as his replacement.
New England’s Twitter post about the signing was even written in Cam Newton fashion.
