The New England Patriots addressed their quarterback position on Monday, agreeing to a one-year contract with veteran free agent Jacoby Brissett. The former Patriots third-round draft pick will therefore return to his old stomping grounds to serve as either a bridge starter or experienced backup.
Either way, the signing itself is a good one for the team.
QB Jacoby Brissett: Signed (1 year, $8M)
Bernd Buchmasser: Brissett was not the best quarterback available in free agency this year, but there was arguably no better fit given his background both in New England and with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.
