Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon, a trailblazing QB who paved the way for players like Newton, also chimed in on the move.
Congratulations to @CameronNewton on signing with the @Patriots ! I wasn’t sure they would pull the trigger on signing him- but a great organization knows great talent, and accepts that talent into their program to keep winning alive and possible! Good luck Cam!

How many former League MVPs have had to sign for the min? (Asking for a friend.) just ridiculous. A transcendent talent and less talented QBs are getting 15/16m a year. Disgusting https://t.co/eZycGL8qkZ
