Just a few days after their first big personnel move of the offseason — re-acquiring offensive tackle Trent Brown via trade from the Las Vegas Raiders — the New England Patriots made their second: the team re-signed starting quarterback Cam Newton to an incentive-heavy one-year, $5 million contract to keep him from hitting unrestricted free agency next week.
While it remains to be seen how Newton will fit into the picture this season, and which additional moves will be made at the position, it is no secret that the team will continue to stay vigilant and add talent to a quarterback room also currently consisting of Jarrett Stidham and Jake Dolegala.
