What Will Newton To The Patriots Effect Be On The AFC East?

In what can only be called a "Patriots move" the New England Patriots have agreed to a one year deal with quarterback Cam Newton. This is a low-risk high reward kind of deal for the Pats. If Cam isn't the starter he makes the league minimum if he hits all the incentives he'll make about $7.5 Million. So what effect will Newton to the Pats have on the AFC East?

The easy answer is the Patriots are once again the team to beat. I mean you lost Tom Brady and replaced him with a league MVP that has everything to prove. However, which Cam Newton are you getting? Remember Cam is coming off some pretty serious injuries and can't learn the offense in a standard training camp environment. That could be problematic.

Betonline.ag doesn't seem to think Newton will have a huge effect on the Pats but it looks like the Pats could have a big effect on Cam.
