With only Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe currently under contract, the New England Patriots will add at least one more quarterback this offseason.
How? That’s unclear. But longtime NFL reporters Mike Giardi on Thursday reported the Patriots “have at least investigated bringing in a veteran QB to add to their young room.”
Jones is entering his third pro season. Zappe is going into Year 2. Veteran backup Brian Hoyer had one year left on his contract, but the Patriots cut him last month, with multiple reports indicating he ruffled feathers by disagreeing with the team’s much-maligned offensive approach in 2022.
