On Sunday evening, the news broke that former NFL MVP Cam Newton signed a 1-year deal with the New England Patriots on a minimum deal that’ll be worth up to $7.5 million.
In an unusual offseason that seems like it is never going to end, Cam Newton being a free agent gave football fans a storyline to keep tabs on which helped keep things interesting while players haven’t been able to get on the field with each other, nor even meet as a team in person.
The past few months were especially intriguing for Chargers fans as a host of media members consistently noted this team as an ideal landing spot for Newton as a mobile quarterback who could slide right into the offense that Anthony Lynn plans on running in 2020.
