One way or another, Ryan Mallett could be done in New England | ProFootballTalk
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he gets cut. No need to carry 3 QBs, Mallets in a contract year, and Garoppolo looks like he's already passed Mallet on the depth chart anyways.
Trade wise - We'd be lucky if we even get a 6th-7th rounder for Mallet. Trading him might be the best option just to keep him out of the wrong hands (Jets).
On Monday’s edition of PFT Live, Tom Curran of CSNNE.com said he believes that, without a trade, Mallett will be cut. The possibility that this year’s potential buy-low-sell-lower rookie, Jimmy Garropolo, will play the entirety of the preseason finale suggests that the Pats hope to avoid an injury to Mallett, which could put the team on the hook for his entire base salary of $776,976.
So if Mallett’s going to be cut, how could he have any trade value? Because Mallett has only three years of service, he’ll have to pass through waivers if he’s released. For a team relatively low on the pecking order, the only way to get Mallett would be to trade for him.
For the Patriots, anything will be better than nothing. Ultimately, the only thing they may get is a conditional seventh-round pick.
