New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has signed his rookie NFL<\/a> contract with the six-time Super Bowl champs. The Pats' third overall pick signed with the organization on Tuesday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.<\/p>\n

Drake Maye received a four-year deal with the New England Patriots for $36.6 million<\/h2>\n

Maye received a four-year deal with New England for $36.6 million \u2014 all fully guaranteed \u2014 with a $23.4 million signing bonus. His contract carries a $6.6 million cap hit for his rookie season. The deal also includes a fifth-year team option for the 2028 season.<\/p>\n

Maye threw for 8,018 yards with 63 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in his collegiate career at North Carolina.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback won ACC Player of the Year, ACC Offensive Player of the Year, and ACC Rookie of the Year. He\u00a0was named second-team All-ACC in the 2023 season\u00a0after passing for 3,608 yards and 24 touchdowns while rushing for 449 yards and nine touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett is expected to begin the 2024 season as New England\u2019s starter. Patriots VP of player personnel Eliot Wolf was a guest on the Up and Adams Show with Kaye Adams on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Wolf reiterated that Brissett is the team's starting quarterback heading into the season.<\/p>\n

“Drake Maye, let's be honest, we've had him for three weeks now and there is a long way to go for all of our rookies and all of our players as we adapt to this new scheme that [offensive coordinator] Alex Van Pelt is implementing offensively. We'll have those conversations as they arise,” said Wolf. “I'm sure it will be a collaborative approach as it has been so far with, really, all the big decisions we've made.<\/p>\n

“All four of the quarterbacks on the roster are working hard and ready to go” added Wolf.<\/p>\n

Pats have drafted four quarterbacks since Tom Brady's departure<\/h2>\n

The Patriots have now agreed to terms with five of their eight 2024 draftees.<\/p>\n

In March, New England traded its 2021 first-round quarterback, Mac Jones, to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2024 sixth-round pick. Jacksonville declined the fifth-year option on Jones' contract, allowing him to become a free agent next summer.<\/p>\n

The Patriots have drafted four quarterbacks since Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020: Jones, Bailey Zappe, Maye, and Joe Milton III.<\/p>\n

New England is beginning a new chapter without both Brady and eight-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick. The Patriots are not expected to make the playoffs next season.<\/p>\n

ESPN's Mike Clay has the Patriots' win total projection set at 4.9 wins, New England's lowest season win total since 1991 (O\/U 4, finished 6-10).<\/p>\n

The Patriots had four wins last season (O\/U 7.5), its fewest in a season since 1992 (finished 2-14).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
