FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots open training camp July 25 at Gillette Stadium. Here's a projection for the 53-man roster:
In years when the Patriots have selected a quarterback in the middle rounds -- like they did with Stidham this year (fourth round, No. 133) -- they have traditionally kept three players at the position for that initial season. How quickly Stidham develops in training camp -- and he would have to come a long way from where he was in spring practices -- could alter that thinking. Danny Etling (seventh round, 2018) is the odd man out.
