Are the Patriots considering a trade from Jacoby Brissett to Drake Maye? Coach Jerod Mayo: “I don't know”

On Thursday night, rookie quarterback Drake Maye made his NFL debut in garbage time, running down the clock while making some improved preseason plays against a strong defense.

Does the move from Jacoby Brissett to Maye mean that it is now time for the drake?

“I don't know,” coach Jerod Mayo told reporters after the game, via Alex Barth of 98.5 The Sports Hub. “We talk about it every week… we'll meet as a coaching staff.”

On the decision to bring Maye into the game, Mayo said: “I thought it was too good an opportunity for him, go out and get him some experience“,” via Mark Daniels of MassLive.

That was really all. There was no rush to turn a 24-3 flop into a game. They didn't even take a single timeout to make the final score a little more respectable.

Whether next weekend in San Francisco or sometime afterward, Maye's time will come. It's just a matter of when. And as the Bengals' Week 1 upset slowly fades into the rearview mirror, When will probably happen sooner rather than later.
