After another disappointing loss on Sunday, the Patriots worked out five free agents on Monday, including a quarterback, ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported.
Quarterback Austin Burton, defensive back Cameron McCutcheon, and tight ends Michael Ezeike, La’Michael Pettway, and Christian Sims, were all looked at by New England. The Patriots don’t currently have a space on their active roster, but they have two open slots on their practice squad.
Interestingly, New England did not work out a kicker despite Bill Belichick’s harsh assessment of rookie Chad Ryland. Working out a quarterback isn’t surprising given the struggles of both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, although New England still has Malik Cunningham on its practice squad and just released Will Grier.
