Like the rest of the organization, the New England Patriots’ quarterback room is undergoing a massive transformation process. Gone is former starter Mac Jones, who was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars, with the future of Bailey Zappe and Nathan Rourke also unclear.
Meanwhile, the expectation is that the Patriots will add a new potential franchise quarterback as early as their third overall selection in this year’s draft. For the time being, though, the top spot on the depth chart might belong to somebody else entirely: Jacoby Brissett, who was signed to a one-year, $8 million free agency deal earlier this week.
