- Belichick says plan to draft signal-caller ‘didn’t work out’
- Saints reportedly close to signing free agent Jameis Winston
The New England head coach, Bill Belichick, has said not taking a quarterback in the Patriots’ first post-Tom Brady draft “was not by design,” but he has confidence in Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer.
The Patriots selected 10 players in the 2020 NFL Draft, but did not recruit a signal-caller to compete with Stidham and Hoyer for the starting job. Brady, who led the Pats to six Super Bowl titles, signed with Tampa Bay last month.
