The New England Patriots’ quarterback situation is one of the more intriguing storylines heading into the 2021 season.
Cam Newton re-signed on a one-year deal, but his role as the starter is far from being secure. The Patriots trading for Jimmy Garoppolo or another veteran isn’t very likely, but the possibility of Bill Belichick drafting a signal-caller has much higher odds. The main question now is — how far are the Patriots willing to go for one of the top-tier prospects in this year’s draft?
Former Patriots executive Michael Lombardi joined The GM Shuffle podcast and discussed the situation in great detail, ultimately saying he doesn’t believe the team will trade up.
