“New #Patriots QB Cam Newton is in New England to complete his physical & finalize his 1-year, $1.75M contract that’s worth up to $7.5M. The team is confident in his condition & no issues at all are anticipated on his physical. It’ll take a few days to complete, but this is a go.”

Bill ain’t an idiot. They don’t have the cap space to pay Cam. So they gave him a one year prove it contract. Cam will definitely prove it.

@nastyynate lucky him, I laughed at it 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yeah cuz you have the opportunity to make 7.5 mill this year lol

Cam says: |€+$ g°!

I think he would have had a much easier time being successful with Patriots than Bears. Which is why I don't think he would accept anything like this to play with the Bears

Cam makes the NFL more fun

Rodgers is going to the Bears

Spite the Packers. Wins two super bowls with Bears

Goes to Hall of Fame in a Bears cap

This is what they call a mercenary contract. He’s coming in to get paid next year.

Prove yourself cam, get paid. Wish him the best though he won’t be the super cam again.

Cam will never be 100% after 2 shoulder surgeries and a foot surgery

Oddly dispute my brain telling me after the injuries he has lost his game, my heart is pulling for cam, I have always loved watching cam play, I do not like the patriots, but I’d love for him to have a career year to prove it’s bill not Tom 🤣

I wonder what all goes into a NFL physical

@Evangellic don’t ask questions you don’t wanna know the answer too

The fact that it takes more than a day to complete seems kinda crazy

Does anyone understand why teams can go over the salary cap to pay incentives? Pats have under $1M left in cap but they can pay Cam an extra $5.75M if he gets everything in his contract.

Cam is a late round steal

Cam got signed to replace James develin don’t be fooled

He won’t have to throw the ball longer than 20 yards in their offensive scheme

@Appa if they end up needing to pay Cam incentives then they will have to restructure someone else’s contract to make the room. They don’t have the room currently but will make it if they need to.

You shouldn't be able to promise money that you have to find later lol maybe that's an unpopular opinion, but no team should be able to do that. Makes sense will Bill though, he can find a loophole in any NFL rule.

@Appa 🤷🏻‍♂️ as long as the check clears when it’s due it’s no problem- and the check isn’t due yet. It’s the salary cap equivalent of multiple spinning plates in the air
