So out here in the spring, we\u2019ll rock with four. But as soon as we get to training camp, now you have to start paring down the rosters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barring something incredibly bizarre, veteran Jacoby Brissett and rookie Drake Maye are expected to be locks for this year&#8217;s roster. From there, that would leave either veteran Bailey Zappe or rookie Joe Milton as the odd man out.<\/p>\n<p>Up until last week, Milton should have been considered a safe bet to stick around, given his potential and physical talents.\u00a0 With that in mind, putting him out on the waiver wire by the end of camp with the hopes of getting him on the practice squad feels like a dangerous move, since the likelihood of being claimed feels pretty high.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been a player who, after the club took him in the sixth round back in April, was going to be a project that the team seemingly took a calculated risk on, giving them some additional insurance behind Maye.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also a move that could have ended up paying dividends depending on how things might have gone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54018\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_23515095_168390408_lowres.jpg 1856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Joe Milton\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, Milton&#8217;s received a limited amount of reps thus far, and hasn&#8217;t seemed to do enough to establish himself to this point.\u00a0 His role has been reduced, so he remains a big question mark.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Zappe went from receiving reps with the second group of the offense in the early part of OTAs, to finding himself as the third quarterback among the group.\u00a0 His situation also remains questionable, although his experience as a starter and his status in the locker room among players are also two things that bring value.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also possible that the club has shifted course and is willing to risk passing him through waivers at the end of August and again bringing him back on its practice squad.<\/p>\n<p>How Zappe feels about that is another story, with Milton&#8217;s situation likely being a factor.\u00a0 With Brissett here on a one-year deal, the door feels open for Zappe to compete to be the backup in 2025.\u00a0 But that will likely depend on Milton&#8217;s development.\u00a0 More importantly, should Brissett get injured during the early weeks fo the season, having Zappe here to step in feels like the smart move, although that would most definitely fast-track Maye&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<p>The big question had been whether or Zappe would have been traded elsewhere by now, which was something that was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LosTalksPats\/status\/1784323949880631298\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>previously suggested by Ian Rapoport back in April<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Instead, that hasn&#8217;t transpired and he&#8217;s now on track to be out there for training camp next month here in New England.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it sounds like the team isn&#8217;t quite ready to part with him just yet.\u00a0 That assumption is based on Mayo reversing course, telling reporters this week that he sees the team fielding four quarterbacks when training camp opens next month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely.
