The New England Patriots continue to slim their depth chart down on Tuesday's NFL roster cutdown deadline, with their latest coming with their quarterback room which now looks a bit thinner for next season.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Patriots have decided to release third-year QB Bailey Zappe, effectively cutting their quarterback room to three players: Drake Maye, Jacoby Brissett, and Joe Milton III.
