The team cut <strong>Ben Wooldridge<\/strong> shortly after the preseason wrapped up.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the expectation exists New England will be in the market for an addition under center in the coming days. Indeed, head coach\u00a0<strong>Mike Vrabel <\/strong>confirmed (via ESPN\u2019s Mike Reiss) the Patriots will add a quarterback shortly. The new arrival will likely be headed to the practice squad, but nothing will be certain on that front until later this week.<\/p>\n<p>Dobbs\u2019 hold on a roster spot has been questioned, but at this point the veteran is set to operate as New England\u2019s backup. Whether or not a replacement is sought out, finances will not be a challenge. The Patriots entered Sunday with a league-leading $60MM in cap space.<\/p>\n<p>In other Pats news, Reiss\u2019 colleague Jeremy Fowler notes trades involving one or more offensive linemen could be in store soon. That position group is one which often sees movement at this time of year as teams aim to acquire veteran depth in time for the regular season. Specifically, Fowler names\u00a0<strong>Vederian Lowe\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Demontrey Jacobs\u00a0<\/strong>as players viewed as being available in a swap.<\/p>\n<p>Lowe was drafted by the Vikings in 2022, but he has spent the past two seasons with New England. That span included eight starts in 2023 and another 13 last season. After the Patriots made several changes up front this spring, however \u2013 including the arrival of a new tackle tandem in the form of\u00a0<strong>Will Campbell <\/strong>and <strong>Morgan Moses<\/strong> \u2013 Lowe could find himself on the move in the event of a trade.<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs made 13 starts in 2024, but he too is a candidate for a reduced role under Vrabel if he remains in New England. Depending on how trade talks shake out over the next few days, one or more deals could be worked out along the O-line as the Pats try to take a much needed step forward in that respect this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots will be in the market for a depth QB addition in the coming days, while O-linemen Vederian Lowe and Demontrey Jacobs could be traded<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":83053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3267,22,3268],"class_list":["post-83052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-demontrey-jacobs","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-vederian-lowe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Patriots To Add QB;
