In 2020, Newton signed a 1-year deal with the New England Patriots. He re-signed with the Patriots for 2021 but was released in August after the club named Mac Jones its starter.

Newton missed the first half of the 2021 season but returned to the Panthers in November 2021 after an injury to QB Sam Darnold. Newton was with Carolina for 8 games the second time around, making 5 starts. In the 2021 season he completed 54.8% of his passes with 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Newton ran for 5 TDs, averaging 4.5 yards per carry.

Newton is a 3-time Pro Bowl selection. He was the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year for the 2011 season. In 2015, Newton was named MVP, Offensive Player of the Year and first-team All-Pro.

Newton turns 34 in May.
