Questions persist about the Patriots' backup quarterback depth behind Drake Maye, with mixed reactions to Joshua Dobbs' addition. Ben Wooldridge was released after a poor preseason performance, leaving a QB3 vacancy. Mike Vrabel indicated the team is evaluating available options, including free-agent candidates after roster cuts. Giants backup Tommy DeVito emerged as a top target after his strong showing against the Patriots' defense. New York's crowded QB room, including Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart, limits DeVito's future there and could prompt teams, including New England, to inquire. Joshua Dobbs' preseason performances were inconsistent and less impressive relative to DeVito's recent play.
Throughout the offseason, there have been questions about the Patriots' quarterback room behind Drake Maye for various reasons. Some analysts and fans were intrigued by the addition of veteran Joshua Dobbs, while others weren't sure about the value he brought to the roster or Maye's development. The same could be said about Ben Wooldridge, but he was released not long after his lackluster performance against the Giants last week in the preseason finale.
The roster cut deadline will inevitably have some solid players hit the free agent market that they could look into, and there is one name that continues to be near the top of the list: Giants' backup Tommy DeVito. So much so, that even ESPN's Mike Reiss name drops him when discussing what the Patriots might do to fill the vacant role.
