How Cam Newton returning to Panthers helps Patriots

Cam Newton is back with the Carolina Panthers, and this move actually helps the New England Patriots. Newton’s deal is worth up to $10 million for the rest of the season and includes $4.5 million in guaranteed money and a $1.5 million signing bonus, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport.

How does this help the Patriots, you ask? Well, Newton’s Panthers deal clears $1.5 million in cap space for New England in 2022. While that’s not a whole lot, every little bit counts, so Bill Belichick should be happy about that.
