In news that is both stunning yet kind of expected, ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that the Patriots have signed the 2015 NFL MVP to an incentive-laden 1-year deal that is said to be worth up to $7.5 million.
The idea that the Patriots were going to try and compete for a year with Jarrett Stidham at quarterback made almost no sense. Stidham has shown little to be considered a competent NFL quarterback; unless he made some miraculous jump, playing him in 2020 might have wasted one of the NFL’s best defenses.
