So, it looks like he's getting the minimum for a "veteran." Not sure exactly how he qualifies as veteran, but maybe because he was called up off the practice squad at the end of last season.

He’s not a veteran, it’s a negotiated contract that he signed. A player does not reach “veteran status” on the negotiated agreement until they have 4 years of accredited service. And that $915,000 would be the figure for a 4 year veteran, as that minimum slides up with each year of service credit. Nathan has some marketability and interest so not hard to not negotiate that level, especially when the only thing that would be guaranteed would be any signing bonus he got.

Once they get Drake Maye in the building, he's gonna get all the reps, all the attention. They could always trade McCorkle, but Rourke always seems to be one-step behind the depth chart shuffle.

The problem for Rourke is there is no such thing as competition for playing time anymore. There are franchise QBs and QBs drafted to become franchise QBS, along with veteran backups to help (but not challenge) those two groups. Many teams don't keep a QB3 on the active roster. It seems like if you are not the anointed one on the team you need to bounce around until injuries give you an opportunity--or make you old enough to not be a threat to the franchise QB.

True, because teams have $$$ money invested in those picks which makes it much harder for players like Rourke I honestly think the advanced ages of these new age QB's could help, as well as some backups playing well. So maybe the stigma is less. But it's going to be an uphill battle for sure. Nate is 25. (Kurtis will be 24 next season) Will Levis is 24. Hendon Hooker is 26. Jayden Daniels is 23. Penix is 23. Bo Nix is 24. Sam Hartman is 24.

They also have the #2 pick overall, so they're expected to draft a QB in the first round. With Hones gone Nathan should move up for this season but if the Pats get another QB it doesn't bode well for the long term. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/03/10/mac-...

I think that the Broncos and Patriots are in such bad shape that they shouldn't draft a 1st round QB. It is setting them up to fail. Get a late round QB and take a shot with him or someone like Rourke. If it doesn't work you draft high again with more pieces.

A *SIXTH round pick. So a 1st round rookie QB isn't as open and shut. Although a new coach always wants to get in there and get his guy, but maybe none of these are his guy? They have to nail this pick, and if Marvin Harrison is there.... no brainer. They could also trade down, because they've got quite a few holes.

There is no chance that they won't add at least 1-2 other QBs to the roster by fall. Will it be a high draft? A low draft? A trade? An UDFA? I have no idea, but for Rourke to earn a position on the final roster, there is no doubt that he will have to earn it by beating out one or two others. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Steve Ragan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Marietta, OH Post Count: 66 Status: Offline     RE: Nathan Rourke picked up by Pats    Posted: 3/12/2024 12:52:21 AM  Just read ON CBS Sports that the Patriots may be trying to sigh Washington free agent QB Jacoby Brissett.
