FOXBORO — Drake Maye is the only person remaining from last year’s Patriots quarterback room.
Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and quarterbacks coach TC McCartney were fired, veteran Jacoby Brissett signed with the Cardinals, and most notably, the Patriots traded 2024 sixth-round pick Joe Milton III to the Cowboys.
Maye was asked about Milton’s departure on Thursday.
“Yeah, I texted Joe. Me and Joe, we came in together. We learned the offense together. We were competing every day to see who could out-throw each other in practice. And obviously, he’s got a big arm, so it was cool for him to get a chance to go hopefully be a backup,” Maye said. “And I think you saw him in the Bills game, the potential. And I think he’s fun, because we have kind of a similar playstyle a little bit. And it was fun relating to our similar college offense to this offense. And it was cool to kind of be in the room and have somebody bounce off ideas, or hey, you’re doing this in college and stuff like that. So cool for Joe, and I know probably, you never know, might play him again or see him down the road.”
Miltion joins a Cowboys quarterback room that includes Dak Prescott and former Patriots QB Will Grier.
