Even the cash-starved LA Rams were able to afford the contract signed by veteran QB Cam Newton. So the question is, why didn’t the Rams sign him?

If you get what you pay for, the New England Patriots are in trouble in 2020. After the LA Rams and the rest of the NFL discovered what the Patriots agreed to pay veteran quarterback Cam Newton, they are trying to rationalize to themselves and their own fans why they were able to say no to such a team-friendly deal. Without the incentives, Cam Newton signed an NFL contract that is about as much of a financial setback as a late-round rookie quarterback might be.
