Another veteran quarterback probably isn’t coming to New England this season.

At this point in time, it feels like Hoyer or Kessler will be the veteran leader that the Patriots bring into the regular season. They will either be able to start or help the younger quarterback(s) grow. Part of this has been the way that Patriots’ rosters have been built in the past, granted it’s a little different without Brady. The other part comes from the financial aspect.

According to NFL writer and cap analyst Miguel Benzan, the Patriots have roughly $2 million in cap space. Jameis Winston, Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, or any other names that have been thrown around will cost more than what the Patriots have left in space.

This doesn’t mean that New England is done at the position and this is what they’ll enter training camp with. Another quarterback in the draft isn’t off the table, but another move for a veteran seems unlikely.
