This is true for two reasons: one that involves Minshew potentially landing with the Patriots and another where his possible movement opens the door for New England to land a different QB.
First, and most obviously, the Patriots theoretically could acquire Minshew from the Jacksonville Jaguars as competition for Cam Newton, who recently re-signed with New England on a one-year deal.
The Jaguars this week signed free agent quarterback C.J. Beathard, perhaps increasing the likelihood of a trade involving Minshew. After all, the Jags are projected to select Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No.
