It is no secret that the New England Patriots are looking for a long-term solution at the quarterback position in this year’s draft. Even after re-signing incumbent starter Cam Newton to a one-year deal in free agency, they are busy finding a potential replacement or successor among the prospects available this week.
What the Patriots will eventually do is anybody’s guess, of course, but they appear to be in the process of casting a wide net at the most important position on the field. New England has not been linked to many concrete passers at this point in time, but the team has been busy behind the scenes — from attending numerous workouts, to holding virtual interviews, to exploring potential trades up the board in case the top-tier guys start dropping.
