Ranking the likelihood of NE landing these QBs for 2021 season

Who’s most probably to finish up beneath heart for the Patriots in 2021?

By lacking the playoffs, the New England Patriots could have had further time to kind by way of potential additions — whether or not it’s by way of free company, commerce or the draft — they need to make by the point the brand new league yr begins.

In the case of the quarterback place, they determine to haven’t any scarcity of choices. That, after all, is excluding the free agent market, until the Patriots need to pursue a couple of middling choices like Mitchell Trubisky, Andy Dalton or Ryan Fitzpatrick.

We hear your rebuttal that Dak Prescott is presently not beneath contract, however he’s given no proof to counsel that he desires to play anyplace however Dallas. Due to that, he’ll doubtless both get tagged but once more or defy the chances and ink a long-term extension within the coming weeks/months.

Primarily based on the newest rumors, we’ve recognized a handful of quarterbacks who might probably be beneath heart for the Patriots come coaching camp. To keep away from revealing their names, we’ve gone forward and ranked them so as of the chance that they find yourself in New England.

Might re-signing Cam Newton be the Patriots’ contingency plan this offseason?

We all know what you’re pondering: it was extensively reported earlier than the season finale that Cam Newton and the Patriots mutually agreed to go their separate ways after their lone yr collectively, why on earth would they ever think about re-signing him after that leaked? In a nutshell, that’s a legitimate level.

Nonetheless, we wouldn’t be so fast to rule out a possible reunion if all else fails this offseason, particularly since Invoice Belichick walked again the “report” of their relationship’s demise instantly. Give it some thought for a second. Given his familiarity with the playbook, roster and general tradition of the staff, wouldn’t operating it again with Newton beneath heart be an amazing fallback choice?

If the Patriots swing and miss on all of their various choices, don’t be stunned if Newton finally ends up again with the staff in 2021. Nonetheless, contemplating that’s extraordinarily unlikely, we merely had no enterprise rating him anyplace aside from final on this checklist.
