Patriots' Cam Newton: Finds landing spot with Pats

Newton has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Newton, who turned 31 last month, finally finds a home after he was released by the Panthers in March. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that his incentive-laden one-year deal is worth up to $7.5 million, and it seems likely the contract includes a small guaranteed amount. In any case, Newton will enter a nice situation to maximize his talents in New England, and his combination of talent and experience should make him the favorite to enter the season as the starter. However, sophomore signal-caller Jarrett Stidham could still get a chance to compete, given the confidence coach Bill Belichick has expressed in him throughout the offseason.
