He's coming back on a one year deal.
Cue hysterics....

I can't remember being this disappointed in a long time.Maybe BB should have never signed sCam last year?
$14 million?!?!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Well...
One thing we all learned last year is that Cam is a really great guy. He brought a lot of positivity and energy every day. He worked with the young guys. He was well liked and did not appear to have a bad attitude ever. He loves the game.
If he is the starter, $14 mil is not a lot. He will have a full off-season now with a year in his pocket. He can work on his issues. Josh can work on designing better plays.
If we can see more of the Cam from his pre-covid play, it can be pretty exciting. Now, there is still a ton of money to improve every position around him as well. Maybe a true #1 WR.
And... We still have the draft to build to the future.
I'm not upset.
It's possible Cam had the brain fog from COVID. Could be why his reads slowed down so much and he got caught just standing in the pocket. Just a guess. The Controller at my company got the brain fog symptom and he told me that year ends took him triple to quadruple the normal amount of time for him to complete. Said he couldn't believe the things he was missing because of it.While not terribly surprised, I am concerned that this is the wrong move for this franchise.
I like Cam and was impressed with his maturity (a big surprise to me) and leadership. Newton did not appear nervous or worried about being
the guy tabbed to replace the GOAT and I believe he inspired some confidence in the locker room. Everybody loved the guy.
We were 2-1 including a competitive loss to Seattle and then Cam got the Covid the week of the Chiefs game. He missed that one and then returned after the bye and we lost the next
3 straight. Cam didn't look like the same guy and the next thing you know we're 2-5 and forced to concede that we were mortal.
I don't have confidence in Cam Newton on the field, but a more rational person might recognize that there were rational reasons why things went south in 2020.
That ain't me, though. I'll hope for the best and fear that he simply isn't that good.
So, free agents are going to swarm to NE because of...sCam?We couldn't go into Monday with no QB. Free agents want to know who the QB is. This deal will be based on performance. If he earns that 14mil something tells me we won't be complaining about his play. Keep pushing Forward and let's go
Tell me another QB we can have right now that would be better at making that happenSo, free agents are going to swarm to NE because of...sCam?
