Patriots Eyeing Flacco, Richardson for QB Depth

0:00It's March 24, I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and Bill for football fans. The New England Patriots made a big change on Monday by releasing back-up quarterback Joshua Dobbs after just one season with the team. Now, they might turn to Tommy DeVito as their main backup, but the front-office is eyeing other options to bring in some real competition at the position. One strong candidate is veteran Joe Flacco, a free agent with 18 seasons of NFL experience He started 201 games, including 11 years with the Baltimore Ravens, and at age 41, he still proved his worth by leading the Cleveland Browns to the playoffs last year. Fans and analysts see Flacco as a steady hand, who could step in and keep the Patriots competitive if injuries hit, even in the later stages of the season. His track record as both a starter and reliable backup makes him a low-risk addition for a team rebuilding its depth. Another intriguing possibility is Anthony Richardson from the Indianapolis Colts.

1:03Drafted in the first round back in 2023, he started 15 games with 2,400 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions so far, but his career hasn't taken off as hoped. The Colts are open to trading him for a late round pick, giving New England a shot at unlocking the potential of this young talent. As the offseason heats up, keep watching how the Patriots shape their quarterback room to stay in the playoffs hunt.
