"Mike Vrabel emphasized his desire to see the Patriots sign a younger player that they can develop and add to the depth chart, whether that be the active roster or practice squad."
"Garoppolo has a history with Josh McDaniels, making him an obvious fit for what the Patriots would presumably be looking for."
"His experience across the league and in big-time games made him a no-brainer signing, but Vrabel has made it clear that they want to prioritize youth with their next backup."
The Patriots re-signed Tommy DeVito and released Joshua Dobbs, leaving DeVito and Drake Maye as the only quarterbacks for the 2026 season. Head coach Mike Vrabel expressed a desire to sign a younger player for development rather than a veteran. This decision rules out the possibility of signing Jimmy Garoppolo, who was considered a fit due to his experience and history with the team. The focus will be on adding youth to the quarterback depth chart.
