Cam Newton just may have gotten a new lease of life in the NFL after he reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the New England Patriots this week. A former NFL MVP, Cam Newton was released by the Carolina Panthers earlier this year after his numerous injury issues raised doubts over his long-term efficacy. New England Patriots, who parted ways with franchise legend Tom Brady in the offseason, were initially expected to go with Jarrett Stidham as their starting quarterback. While those plans might still be in place, Cam Newton could force himself into the running for No. 1 if he impresses head coach Bill Belichick with his passing ability. With the 2015 NFL MVP looking to revive his NFL career, here's a look at the Cam Newton net worth figure, his reported Patriots salary and his career accomplishments.

Having been drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in 2011, Newton hit the ground running in his rookie season as he was named the NFL Rookie of the Year in 2011. That season he threw for more than 4,000 yards and 21 touchdowns. He continued his rapid progress and established himself as a starter for the Panthers.

His best NFL season came in 2015 when the led the Panthers to a 15-1 (win-loss) record in the regular season, before leading them to Super Bowl 50. The Panthers lost 24-10 to Denver Broncos, but Newton won the NFL MVP that season as he threw for 3,837 yards and a career-high 35 touchdowns. While his numbers dipped after 2015, he was still considered as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The last two seasons were largely underwhelming for Newton, especially last season, where he was restricted to just two appearances due to injuries. He was released by the Panthers on March 24, 2020.
