One of my co-workers is a jets fan, he said yesterday (showing me an article from the NY Post) "that Pats are looking at Fitzpatrick and would hate the Patriots more if they signed him."
What if we sign Fitzpatrick for cheap (stick it to the jets) then week 5, trade him for picks to a team. What if the Jets are so desperate for a QB by week 5 that they gave us a 1st rounder for Fitzpatrick? I know wishful thinking, but a funny scenario to think about!
Use the roster spot for an additional RB. The Pats will be running a lot in games 1-4, and maybe into game 5 to take the load off of Brady on his first game back.
Although unlikely, Edelman can play QB in a pinch, of course he can't throw it and catch it on the same play. Or can he?!

I don't know if we have the available reps for a veteran QB. It's already going to be delicate giving Garoppolo the snaps he needs while also giving Brady all the time he can get before his suspension. That's not even counting Brissett. Can we afford enough reps for a veteran to be worth a damn if he does play?
Brissett is going to end up on IR anyways IMO.
I think Belichick will bring a vet QB in and they will get cut after week 4.
someone on the shadow roster will be brought back at that point.
So I agree with the OP.
