The New England Patriots don't have a long-term answer at quarterback as the 2020 NFL season winds down.
Cam Newton has started 11 of 12 games for the Patriots, but he's struggled as a passer throughout the year and can become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. Backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham also has failed to impress in limited action this season.
Could the team look outside the organization for a new quarterback?
One interesting trade possibility is Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. With the Lions potentially headed for a rebuild after firing head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn late last month, maybe they would be open to moving Stafford and starting over at the QB position.
