The Patriots have traded Jarrett Stidham to the Raiders.
For Stidham, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, this move places him with a familiar face in former Patriots offensive coordinator and new Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels as well as a coaching staff full of former Patriots assistants. He heads to Las Vegas having thrown for 270 career passing yards to go with two touchdowns and four interceptions.
Stidham was drafted with 133rd overall pick in 2019 and had an impressive training camp that year. As a rookie, he beat out Hoyer for the top backup spot behind Brady. That preseason, Stidham completed 67.8% of his passes and threw for 731 yards to go with four touchdowns, an interception and a 102.6 quarterback rating.After Brady signed with Tampa in 2020, Stidham failed to beat out Cam Newton for the starting quarterback job in Foxborough.
Stidham appeared in five games for the Patriots, throwing for 256 yards to go with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Last season, Stidham started training camp on the physically unable to perform list due to offseason back surgery. He was activated on the 53-man roster on Nov. 9 but was never active for a game. Meanwhile, the Patriots clearly moved on by selecting two quarterbacks in the past two NFL drafts.
