The Patriots now have five quarterbacks on the roster.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have signed quarterback Jake Dolegala off waivers from the Packers.
Dolegala spent last season with the Patriots on the practice squad and will join Cam Newton, Mac Jones, Jarrett Stidham (PUP) and Brian Hoyer on the roster at the position.
In terms of impact, this seems to impact Stidham the most as this is an indication his stay on PUP will be an extended one. If it was going to be short-lived then it wouldn't make a lot of sense to add another quarterback.
It also feels like more of a depth signing and having an extra body during training camp opposed to him competing for any sort of job.
Dolegala graduated from Central Connecticut State in 2019.
