It’s been a long time since quarterback was a team need for the Patriots, but it may be time to bring another passer to New England, as soon as this week.
If Tom Brady is suspended for his role in Deflategate, the Patriots would surely want another veteran quarterback on the roster. At the moment, the only quarterbacks behind Brady on the depth chart are Jimmy Garoppolo and Garrett Gilbert, both of whom are 23-year-olds who have never started an NFL game.
Most teams have more than three quarterbacks on the roster during the offseason anyway, so it’s very unlikely that the Patriots would stick with only three quarterbacks if one of them, Brady, is going to be suspended.
