It Looks Like Cam Newton Won’t Be Returning To The Patriots Next Season

Turns out things didn’t work out so well for the Patriots, and their replacement for Tom Brady.

According to Channel 8 WMTW, citing a report from ESPN, Patriots Quarterback Cam Newton is not likely to return to the team next season, after an overall disappointing season for the team.

Newton signed a one year deal with the Patriots last summer. Incentives could have earned Newton $7.5 million, but estimates suggest that he’ll only earn about $3.7 million, based on his performance with the team.

The Patriots wrapped up their 2020 season yesterday with a win over the Jets, ending with a 7-9 record. They missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
