PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp Day 4

It was.
Remember you said him being gone was "a done deal". Pure speculation.
I don't care what Breer and Reiss said, just because they have access doesn't mean they know what is really going on.

As I said it’s all speculation.
And all fake news.

This will age poorly.

Prunty's making the team if for no other reason than his draft status. I wouldn't give you even a conditional 7th-round draft pick, in 2029, for the rest of them, however, including the backup Safeties.

They cut a 5th rounder last year in Swinson, draft status wasn't important then.

They have Vildor, Prunty and some talented UDFA CB's in camp, the room will be better than last year.

He's the best backup here since Jimmy G. And it's really not close.

That dude won games with an absolute dogshit Giants team. Hes not perfect. That's why he's a backup and not the Jets starter or something.

Agree here, he's a pretty good backup.

The only reason I think he might be challenged is because I am pretty high on Behren Morton as a backup.

depends on what you want your back up to do.
if you want the back up to support the starter, and help be his eyes on the field, as well as be able to come into a game and manage the offense, Hoyer was head and shoulders above Devito imo.

I agree with you on Morton

Why?

Why?

I liked him as a prospect.

He has good NFL size, played injured his final year of college but still drove the ball downfield and showed accuracy.

He might be a diamond in the rough.

OK. But he's 6' 2".

I see him as a tougher Zappe.
Serial poor decision maker.
Main reason TX Tech lost in playoffs.
Likely ceiling: Scout team punching bag.

So how do we feel about Tommy Buckets as #2? Not feeling the warm & fuzzies about it so far...

I have to admit I didn’t see him play with the Giants, I’m curious to see more of him in preseason.

In general, I think of three kinds of backups: the raw young unknown with potential, the savvy career backup who’s been called in to action enough to stay calm when it happens, and the semi-washed old veteran starter who may or may not be bitter about the younger guy playing ahead of him. I tend to like the middle type, with Brian Hoyer the prototype. I’m hoping Devito fits that mold.

The fact is, though, there aren’t even enough real NFL QBs to fill out the starting jobs. According to this ranking, there are 8 worse than Geno Smith: https://nflrankings.theringer.com/qb-rankings

For you?
He may well be traded.
You stating it was a done deal weeks ago was incredibly premature. If it was done deal he would’ve been gone by now.
I never argued he wouldn’t be traded (although I think it would be a mistake for 2026). My argument was it was far from a “done deal”, which it was, and still is today.
