Patriots make sneaky smart addition by claiming best QB left after cuts

If you can beat 'em, join 'em, right? That's not exactly how the saying goes. However, it's the situation quarterback Tommy DeVito suddenly finds himself in, landing with the New England Patriots just days after torching them.

The Patriots have reportedly used the NFL's No. 4 waiver priority to claim DeVito, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. They saw him dismantle their defense in a blowout preseason finale loss to the New York Giants and said "gimme that." He gives New England a stealthily intriguing third signal-caller on its depth chart behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs.
