New England Patriots trading QB Jarett Stidham to Las Vegas Raiders

At one point, Jarrett Stidham was viewed by some as the potential future for the Patriots at quarterback. However, following a strong rookie training camp, the 2019 fourth-round pick never developed into Tom Brady’s replacement. As it turns out, Stidham won’t turn into the next Patriots' backup quarterback, either.

On Thursday, the Patriots traded Stidham and a future seventh-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for a future sixth-round selection, a person with knowledge of the deal told the USA TODAY Network. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official.
