Cam Newton is re-signing with the Patriots on a one-year deal, sources have confirmed to ESPN.
The contract is worth up to close to $14 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cam Newton did nothing wrong. The way last season went is not his fault. I just don't understand what BB's plan here is. Does he think he's going to scrape out a 10-6 record and a first round playoff exit? Is that the the goal? I find it hard to imagine that there weren't more appealing options out there.
BB is 48 wins behind Shula's record. That's gonna take somewhere between 5 seasons (if the team is good) and 12 seasons (if the team is bad). Perhaps he has a handshake deal with the Krafts that they will let him hang around until he gets it. Then it would make sense to try and get as many wins as he can each year (hopefully at least 8) so he can beeline retirement and the team can rebuild after he's gone.
