One thing that’s clear for the New England Patriots is that they need a new QB to take over for Mac Jones. Jerod Mayo wants to start his reign with the Patriots on the right foot, and Mac Jones has done little to convince him that he’s the right man for the job.
While there are plenty of predictions that the Patriots will use their third overall pick to select a rookie quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft, there are quality QBs they can pursue in free agency and the trade market to get them back in fighting shape.
Robert Griffin III sees one such quarterback to be the answer for them, but it’s someone that Patriots fans may not fully agree with.
Robert Griffin III wants New England Patriots to sign Russell Wilson
Robert Griffin III shared his thoughts on social media, saying that the New England Patriots should target disgruntled QB Russell Wilson, as reported by The Spun’s Kameron Duncan:
“The Patriots SHOULD SIGN Russell Wilson when he leaves the Denver Broncos,” Griffin said in a tweet on Friday.
Wilson would be a great QB to build around for Jerod Mayo’s Patriots, if not a great bridge QB while he feels out how his schemes work in the NFL. Mr. Unlimited was barely effective under Sean Payton’s offensive scheme last season, only notching a career-low 3070 passing yards, 26 passing TDs, 8 INTs, and a 98.0 QB rating on 66% pass completion.
However, the fact that Wilson struggled against a known QB coach may push Mayo away. RGIII also acknowledges that the team is more likely to sign another veteran QB:
“They are MORE LIKELY to sign Joe Flacco who worked with OC Alex Van Pelt in Cleveland last year. They WILL DRAFT A QB this year, but should allow him to learn for a year and take over in year 2.”
It will be interesting what tactic the New England Patriots will use for their QB room in 2024. If the QB they get in the draft manages to perform better than expected, it won’t be strange to see that pick to become a Week 1 starter.
However, the Patriots present a chance for Wilson to rebuild his reputation. If he manages to convince Mayo that he’s worth the investment, he could accelerate the Patriots’ Super Bowl timeline.
