The New England Patriots plan to sign Jacoby Brissett, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, returning the quarterback to the franchise he started his career with back in 2016.

The deal is for one year and $8 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Patriots need a starting quarterback as well as more depth after trading Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Brissett was drafted by the Patriots in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft and started two games for New England during his rookie year.
