You’re probably all on top of the latest news surrounding the Buffalo Bills and we hope Bills Wire helped you get there. But let’s keep you up to date with the Bills news, just outside the Bills’ realm.
The upcoming 2020 NFL season has many thinking the Bills are the favorite in the AFC East. But Buffalo isn’t just going to stroll into that title. The Dolphins, Jets, and of course the Patriots, will all have something to say about that.
So let’s stay on top of some of the latest headlines surrounding the Bills’ divisional foes now. Here are nine news stories from the other three AFC East teams from the last week right here:
New England Patriots
Cam’s contract
We found out just last week that the Patriots brought former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on board to help replace Tom Brady. Prior to that, it was assumed Jarrett Stidham would be the guy but… not so fast.
The news in general turned some heads in the NFL world. What did so further was the details of his contract. Newton signed a deal worth $1.05 million in salary in 2020, the veteran minimum for a player with the quarterback’s NFL experience. Newton is guaranteed just $550,000, but with incentives in his deal, he could earn up to $7.5 million, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. That’s pretty underpaid. But Newton has since responded to that criticism.
On Thursday, Newton took to his social media account on Instagram and wrote this message:
“THÏŠ ÏŠ ÑØT ÄßØŪT MØÑĒ¥ FØR MĒ; ïtš âbøût RĒŠ₽ĒČT.”
Newton’s looking to change the narrative about him, but of course, the Bills will have something to say about that.
