Heading into free agency, it was no secret that the\u00a0New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0were facing an uphill battle when it came to trying to entice top-tier free agents to come to Foxboro.<\/p>\n

Apparently, they\u2019ve already been spurned by a couple of key names early in the process.\u00a0 According to Chad Graff of the Athletic, both Buccaneers Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield\u00a0are two players who didn\u2019t exactly jump at the chance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to come to New England.<\/p>\n

Evans reportedly had \u201cno interest\u201d in coming to the Patriots, while Jerod Mayo\u2019s team is currently at the bottom of the list of clubs Mayfield is apparently willing to consider.\u00a0 And that would only be if a return to the Buccaneers doesn\u2019t work out, followed by potentially teams like Minnesota or Atlanta also failing to come to an agreement with him.<\/p>\n

While you can laugh and say, \u201cSo you\u2019re saying there\u2019s a chance?\u201d the reality essentially outlines what the Patriots are up against this offseason.<\/p>\n

As we know, this is a team that is horrifically devoid of talent.\u00a0 They have significant needs up front on the offensive line, they need tight ends, receivers, they need all of it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tough spot to be in.\u00a0 They\u2019re currently stuck in what\u2019s basically a chicken\/egg situation.\u00a0 They can\u2019t attract skill players without a quarterback, and they can\u2019t attract the quarterback due to the lack of skill players.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s likely going to be why the Patriots will most likely make a push at the next tier of quarterbacks a priority.\u00a0 That potentially means Jacoby Brissett is likely facing his best opportunity to cash in, and with good reason.\u00a0 Of all the players to have to overpay, he\u2019s probably the best option since you\u2019d rather be stuck paying a guy who is at least a good teammate and a good person, fits your system and has familiarity with your staff (he played under Alex Van Pelt in Cleveland) as well as the fact he\u2019s a decent player on the field.\u00a0 He\u2019s also the type of guy who would likely be a good mentor for whoever they select in April.<\/p>\n

Reports have already indicated the interest in Brissett is real, albeit it\u2019s not known if it\u2019s mutual.\u00a0 Still, it\u2019s also a situation where he would likely be considered the day one starter, which is probably a guarantee he won\u2019t get elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Getting Brissett in the fold early would at least remove some uncertainty.\u00a0 Better yet, for players who have potentially been with him on other rosters or are familiar with him, it may tip the scale a bit in terms of getting guys to want to come here and play with him.\u00a0 He\u2019s not Cam Newton, but he\u2019s decent enough where he\u2019ll provide more of a draw than the current duo of Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, getting their veteran signal-caller will likely need to be step one in the coming days, and one can hope that it\u2019s Brissett who gets the nod.\u00a0 Because if he says no, and knowing how the top-tier guys seem to be viewing New England, they may have a rough stretch over these next couple of weeks adding talent to a roster that desperately needs it.<\/p>\n
