The Carolina Panthers are bringing back quarterback Cam Newton.
The deal is reportedly worth $10 million for the rest of the year, including $4.5 million guaranteed plus a $1.5 million roster bonus,Newton, 32, last played in the NFL in December 2020, a 45-0 win over the Los Angeles Chargers while completing his one season with the New England Patriots.
Panthers coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that P.J. Walker is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Matt Barkley, signed off the Tennessee Titans practice squad, is slated to be his backup. Newton has struggled in recent years to get back to the playing level that earned him league MVP honors in 2015, in part due to shoulder and foot injuries. Newton is 7-16 in his last 23 career starts with 20 interceptions and 17 touchdown passes. He has run for 12 TDs during that span.
Newton's best season came in 2015 when he combined for 45 touchdowns – 35 passing and 10 rushing – and helped the Panthers reach the Super Bowl after going 15-1 during the regular season. However, Newton struggled in Super Bowl 50 and the Panthers lost 24-10 to Von Miller, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. Newton was 18 of 41 for 265 yards with no touchdowns and two turnovers in that game and was sacked six times.
