The details of Cam Newton’s contract for the 2021 season are starting to trickle out.
After reportedly agreeing to a one-year deal with the Patriots on Friday, Newton can earn up to $14 million next season, per multiple reports. However, the base value for Newton’s contract is just $5 million, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, with $3.5 million of that being guaranteed, The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin reported. The base value is made up of a $2 million signing bonus, a $1.5 million guaranteed base salary, and $1.5 million in total per-game roster bonuses.
