Cam Newton Passed His Physical With The New England Patriots



Cam Newton is officially a member of the New England Patriots after passing his physical. Ian Rapoport claims “no issues at all are anticipated.” Newton’s foot is what cost him 2019, but we would assume his troublesome shoulder is the bigger physical concern. If Newton is truly healthy he could be in for a big season.

Newton’s contract with the Patriots has now cleared the NFL’s transaction wire. Normally, this step in the signing process is more of a formality, but was never a guarantee with Newton’s previous injuries.

This news does not come to the surprise of the Patriots because they did not expect any issues when they originally made the offer. The next step is for Cam to prove he can win the starting job which has not been guaranteed to him from 2nd year quarterback Jarrett Stidham.
