QB Jacoby Brissett, NEP - We think... (1 Viewer)

Been waiting to see anything about where he ends up. NE has been the odds on favorite due to the OC connection.

The beauty of Brissett is you get a reasonable contract of $8-12M per year and a 1-3 year team friendly deal. The salary cap savings is huge vs signing say Kirk Cousins, or risking the dollars and contract scenarios a team will inherit with Fields or Wilson. You can really build/draft a solid team for the future while paying Brissett not so much. I see him as a fit in both NE and ATL.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Patriots are expected to sign QB Jacoby Brissett.

Brissett started his career in New England, backing up Tom Brady during the former’s rookie season in 2016. The eight-year veteran journeyman would appear to have the inside track to a starting role with the Patriots after the franchise dealt away former first-round draft pick Mac Jones earlier in the day, clearly pending the team’s first-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. The other quarterbacks currently on the roster consist of Bailey Zappe and Nathan Rourke, neither of whom bring the level of experience to the table that Brissett does. Either way, the Patriots enter an era of clear rebuilding after the failed experiment with Jones and the departure of longtime head coach Bill Belichick.

I’d love for him to start. Have him in a SF where I really need. QB2
