With the New England Patriots’ long-term outlook at the quarterback position still remaining unclear, every possible solution appears to be on the table — from drafting a quarterback early, to drafting one late, to riding with either Cam Newton or Jarrett Stidham, to swinging a trade for a veteran.
If the team goes the latter route, one name prominently associated with the organization is that of current San Francisco 49ers starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo. The former Patriot appears to be on his way out of San Francisco with the team all but certain to draft a new passer after trading up to the third overall spot.
