“The Panthers on Thursday agreed to terms with quarterback Cam Newton, bringing the former No. 1 overall pick back to Charlotte, pending a physical.

The 32-year-old Newton adds experience to the position, and offers possibilities on offense which can only help.”

With starter Sam Darnold out four to six weeks with a shoulder injury, the Panthers needed to turn to a familiar face.

Newton won the NFL offensive rookie of the year award all the way back in 2011, and league MVP honors in 2015, when he led the team to a 15-1 record and a berth in the Super Bowl.

We’ll see how Cam fares in Carolina after spending a season in New England.
