Patriots bringing in former Vikings starting QB to back up Drake Maye

The New England Patriots are bringing in a former starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings to back up Drake Maye. NFL free agency has already had its expected chaos, with several teams making bold moves on their future at the league's most important position. The Patriots have certainty at quarterback, as Drake Maye is coming off a very productive rookie year. That being said, having even more security at quarterback never hurts, and New England has just added one of the best backups in the NFL.

According to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero, the Patriots have signed Josh Dobbs to a two-year, $8 million deal.
