The NFL offseason has barely begun, and there have already been multiple high-level trades involving quarterbacks.
The Patriots, according to ESPN’s Field Yates, could get in on the act as well.
In a recent column predicting who the 32 starting quarterbacks will be in the 2021 season, Yates listed a surprise for New England.
Marcus Mariota, the second overall pick by the Titans in the 2015 draft, is currently a backup with the Raiders. Whether “via trade or cut,” Yates believes Mariota could end up with the Patriots.
“The Patriots are among a group of teams that are too far from the top of the draft order to be a likely landing spot for the top-draft-prospect quarterbacks, meaning we’re examining other veteran options who could be logical fits,” Yates wrote.
