And yes, Brissett is just an average backup in this league...nothing special.
He was a late 3rd rounder for NE and that's about all we can get for him...if that.

We need to keep Kelly and develop him for the year. If he improves and keeps his nose clean then he becomes Andrew's backup next year when Brissett thankfully moves on. If not, we can draft a backup and sign a vet to fill in until the young QB develops.

Rogers is entrenched as the slot receiver, and he can play outside, and he can play special teams. The coaches love him. I don’t think the fans do because they always hear how well he does in camp then disappears in the regular season games. Cain and Fountain only play outside. Fountain I think is behind Pascal and Johnson. I think he is number 8 in the depth chart so even if they go 6 WRs, he won’t make it in.
