New England Patriots signed QB Tommy Devito, who released WR Kendrick Bourne; All you need to know

The New England Patriots made important timetable movements to strengthen their Quarterback depth and adjust their broad recipient group. They purchased former New York Giants -quarterback Tommy Devito of the waiver and intends to release veteran -wide recipient Kendrick Bourne after not obtaining a trade. Tommy Devito joins the Patriots’ Quarterback room Tommy Devito will compete with the starting batsman Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. The New England Patriots have been searching for a third quarterback since releasing the unprepared free agent Ben Woolridge last week. Devito’s striking performance in the pre -season finals against New England, and 17 of the 20 passes for 198 meters, three Touchdowns, and no interceptions, probably caught the team’s attention. The head coach, Mike Vrabel, emphasized the importance of the move and said, “Just set our timetable strengthened, surely at a premium position.” Devito’s addition will bring a critical role in depth, especially after the Giants’ crowded Quarterback room, which includes Russell Wilson, first round Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston, left no room for him. In addition to Devito, the Patriots also claimed former Los Angeles Rams backer Charles Woods of waiver, further strengthening their timetable. Kendrick Bourne’s departure from New England Patriots to accommodate Tommy Devito will release the Patriots Kendrick Bourne, a nine -year -old veteran who has been a reliable target his entire career. Bourne, who scored 292 receptions for 3.714 meters and 22 Touchdowns, was one of the eight recipients on the Patriots’ initial 53-man roast. The team’s depth at the position, including stars such as Stefon Diggs, Kaysshon Boutte, Demario Douglas and Mack Hollins, as well as newcomer Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III, challenged Bourne. The best season of Kendrick Bourne was under the then coordinator Josh McDaniels in 2021, when he scored 55 catches for 800 meters and five touchdowns. His versatility about multiple recipient positions and excitement for McDaniels’ return this year made his release surprising. However, Bourne has not practiced since August 1 due to an injury, but is expected to make a return. Trade talks for Bourne, including interest from the Minnesota Vikings before obtaining Adam Thielen, did not materialize. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers, where Bourne started his career from 2017 to 2020, is allegedly interested in a reunion. The 49ers currently run a thin recipient group, which makes Bourne a suitable option. The Strategy of New England Patriots The adjustments of New England Patriots reflect a strategic focus on depth on key positions such as Quarterback while streamlining.
