It’s just that those other knuckleheads acquired by the Patriots weren’t as injury prone as Newton when they arrived in Foxborough, Massachusetts. In 2019, Newton spent the last of his nine seasons with the Carolina Panthers missing the final 14 games due to a foot injury. Five years ago, the Panthers spent that summer extending Newton’s contract for five seasons at $103.8 million. Then again, Newton was healthy back then, which contributed to Panthers officials holding their tongue regarding most Cam Things over the years.
