The New England Patriots have found their replacement for Tom Brady.
On Sunday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the team has signed former NFL MVP Cam Newton to their roster.
Former NFL MVP Cam Newton has reached agreement on a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the New England Patriots, league sources tell @mortreport and me.
Newton now will step into the mix to try to help replace former Patriots’ QB Tom Brady.

QBs the Patriots now are expected to have reporting to training camp: Cam Newton, Jarrett Stidham, Brian Hoyer.

New Patriots’ QB Cam Newton turned 31 years old last month, what for what many quarterbacks is the prime of their career.

Newton’s deal is for 1-year and worth up to $7.5 million.
Source: The #Patriots are signing Cam Newton to a 1-year deal. A chance to compete. This has been in the works. A bare minimum deal.

For the #Patriots and Cam Newton, who have quietly worked on this recently, it’s a 1-year deal worth up to $7.5M, source said. https://t.co/YSHLAcRupb

Early thoughts on Cam Newton to Patriots: His willingness to accept a modest 1-year deal creates low-risk, high-reward situation for team to pounce on. Not necessarily a reflection of how team views Jarrett Stidham, in my view, but a chance to bolster the depth chart.

The Internet was pretty hyped about the signing.
And there it is. Damn. Very legit chance Cam is once again a top 10 fantasy QB this year. https://t.co/8kQierSCKK
