Mitchell Trubisky rumors: 5 best fits in NFL free agency

This narrative isn’t factual, but it’s also not entirely wrong. Remember when Tom Brady wasn’t expected to be a star for the New England Patriots?

Look how that turned out.

Josh McDaniels’ offense always worked better with a quarterback that stayed in the pocket. Names like Jimmy Garoppolo and Marcus Mariota are expected to be on the market via trade, meaning New England would likely have to give up a mid-round pick to add a bridge option.

Instead, why not add Trubisky at half the price?

One thing New England can pride themselves on is their ability to build a stout offensive line. Last season, Cam Newton was sacked a mere 31 times, the second-fewest in his career. Should Joe Thuney return as well, New England would likely have all five returning starters back.

On a short-term deal, the Patriots could also add several receivers to help fix the passing attack.

Trubisky is going to have to prove his worth no matter where he lands. Why not land with Bill Belichick and hopes to be the reason Foxborough is a fierce play to in the future?
