ESPN believes the Patriots will have a new face behind center when they open their 2024 season.
This isn’t a bold prediction, as neither Mac Jones nor Bailey Zappe performed well enough last season to garner starter consideration in the next campaign. But the real mystery is how New England will fill the void atop its quarterback depth chart. Jerod Mayo and company could bring in a new veteran, or they could try to find their next franchise signal-caller in the draft.
ESPN’s Seth Walder anticipates the latter, as the analytics expert believes Jayden Daniels will be the Patriots’ starting QB come fall.
