Cam Newton signs deal to rejoin Carolina Panthers- See Latest News

“Superman,” the sequel, began for the Carolina Panthers on Thursday when quarterback Cam Newton returned to the team he led to the Super Bowl in 2015 with a one-year contract.

The deal is worth up to $10 million for the remainder of the season, including $4.5 million guaranteed and a $1.5 million roster bonus, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Newton’s return created a buzz around the Carolinas that cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who grew up in nearby Rock Hill, South Carolina, and played with Newton the past year and a half in New England, understands better than most.

“There’s a lot of important people in South Carolina and North Carolina, but Cam Newton is probably right up there at the top two or top one,” he said.

Panthers agree to terms with Cam Newton

Newton, who celebrated touchdowns with his signature “Superman” move for nine seasons with the Panthers, was unavailable for comment Thursday as he began meeting with coaches after passing his physical.

He is expected to address the media on Friday, but his presence already was felt around Charlotte and at the stadium.

“Everybody knows Cam as a superstar,” said wide receiver DJ Moore, one of about a dozen players who were on the team when Newton last played here in 2019. “But within the locker room he brings a different energy.”

It’s that energy the Panthers hope to harness to possibly make a playoff run.

“We had a heartfelt, sincere discussion with him and it wasn’t about anything in the past,” general manager Scott Fitterer said. “It was more about what are we going to do now moving forward and what is Cam’s role and how can he help us and what can we do to support him.”
