Via Bleacher Report:
“People around the league can’t help but think of some great Patriots conspiracy that they’ll trade up for a quarterback,” an AFC pro scout said. “First it was Baker [Mayfield], then it was Tua. Spoiler alert: They really like Stidham.”
Rumors started circling at the NFL Scouting Combine in late February that the Patriots were ready for life after Brady should he decide to walk in free agency, with one top agent telling me that he was trying to set up calls with New England to talk about his free agency or quarterback prospects in the draft.
Those calls, per the agent, came and went without a response from the Patriots. “They like the guy they have,” he told me in a predraft call.
It sounds like Stidham’s the guy. Belicheck has rarely been wrong in New England and until he swings and misses on Stidham, he should be trusted.
