Mike Reiss explains how Patriots are viewing quarterback position this offseason

What the Patriots will do at the quarterback position this offseason is a big mystery.

In fact, even the people inside the organization don't really know what will happen.


Appearing on ESPN's Get Up Monday morning, Mike Reiss detailed how one person in the organization explained things to him.

“Here’s the summary: there’s no sure-fire answer for the Patriots," he said. "Here’s how someone in the organization explained it to me: they said, ‘We’re going to do what we always do. Explore every option. It could be the draft. Could be free agency. Could be trade.’ And they feel like they are in a good financial position with the salary cap that if the right opportunity presents itself that they can pounce.

“There is one other thought from those around this situation that timing is important for them to get a quarterback for the start of free agency so if they are out recruiting a top receiver or a top tight end, that player knows who might be throwing them the football, so that aspect is part of this conversation as well.”

The Patriots have the fourth-most salary cap space in the league and have the No. 15 overall pick in the draft.
