Thank you Carolina Panthers. Finally, after waiting and waiting, Cam Newton has finally been signed to a long-term contract consisting of a five-year extension for $103.8 million. Although Newton has only one playoff win, but is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, the Panthers know Cam can take them to the big game – and win it.
That was the main reason for the contract extension. Cam’s new contract has an average salary of $20.76 million a year, which makes him the third-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, even with only one playoff win in four seasons. Gettleman finally opened up his eyes and did what was right.
