Throws for 826 yards in 2024
Published: 2025-01-08
Brissett finished the 2024 regular season with 95 completions on 161 passing attempts for 826 yards, with two TDs and an interception in eight games.
Brissett, who added 15 carries for 62 yards in that span, went 1-4 while starting the Patriots' first five games of the season until rookie first-rounder Drake Maye took over. The veteran QB is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it's possible he could remain with New England in 2025 in a backup capacity. That said, the team may opt to roll with 2024 sixth-rounder Joe Milton as Maye's top backup, and in that scenario Brissett would become an option for another team looking for a respected and experienced No. 2 signal caller.

In line to back up Maye
Published: 2024-11-03
With Drake Maye (concussion) having been removed from the Patriots' injury report Saturday, Brissett is in line to back up the rookie QB in Sunday's game against the Titans, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Brissett replaced Maye in the first half of last Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets after the young signal-caller was forced out of the contest after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit that landed him in the concussion protocol. With Maye having been cleared for Week 9 action, Brissett is slated to move back into a backup role versus Tennessee.
Leads comeback win in relief
Published: 2024-10-27
Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, without a touchdown or interception, after replacing Drake Maye (concussion) in the first half of Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. Brissett added three rushing attempts for 11 yards and threw a two-point conversion.
Brissett led the Patriots to an upset win with a pair of second-half touchdown drives, both of which were capped by Rhamondre Stevenson touchdown runs. The veteran quarterback threw a two-point conversion to Stevenson after the running back's second rushing score, which came with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Brissett started New England's first five games but has only two touchdown passes this season, so he won't be an appealing fantasy option if Maye's unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the Patriots head to Tennessee for a Week 9 matchup that could have significant implications near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Move to backup role confirmed
Published: 2024-10-09
Coach Jerod Mayo confirmed Wednesday that the Patriots will start Drake Maye over Brissett in Sunday's game against the Texans.
From the moment the Patriots selected Maye third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, it was inevitable that he'd eventually claim the starting job. However, to begin the season the team turned to the experienced Brissett rather than rush the rookie into action. With New England 1-4 and averaging just 12.4 points per game, Maye will now be given the opportunity to help spark the team's struggling attack, relegating Brissett to a backup role beginning Week 6.
Heading to bench
Published: 2024-10-08
Brissett is expected to move into a backup role Week 6 with the Patriots planning to start Drake Maye in Sunday's game against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though he won the starting job coming out of the preseason, Brissett never looked to be in line for a long-term stay atop the depth chart after the Patriots selected Maye with the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft. After getting off to a 1-4 start while Brissett presided over an offense that ranked 31st in the league with averages of 250.8 yards and 12.4 points per game through five weeks, the Patriots are now ready to turn the keys over to Maye. Brissett will slide back into the familiar No. 2 role he's occupied across multiple stops in his NFL career, and if Maye stays healthy and provides a lift to the offense, the Patriots could even explore moving the 31-year-old veteran to a quarterback-needy team ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline. Brissett is on an expiring contract and carries a modest cap number of $7.88 million.
Could lose starting role
Published: 2024-10-07
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was non-committal Monday when asked if Brissett would retain the starting quarterback job heading into next Sunday's game against the Texans, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports. "All positions are always being evaluated. We haven't had our full staff meeting. That's a conversation, not only at that spot but all the spots, of how to get better as a football team," Mayo said, when asked if Brissett gives the team the best chance to win.
The Patriots have limped to a 1-4 start to the season while Brissett has completed just 58.5 percent of his passes for 5.2 yards per attempt and a 2:1 TD:INT. While shoddy offensive-line play and an inexperienced group of playmakers around him hasn't helped, Brissett enjoyed a relatively clean pocket in this past Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins and misfired on several key throws that could have made a difference as the Patriots dropped their fourth straight game. Mayo and his staff will likely review film from Sunday and take Brissett's body of work through the first five weeks into consideration before deciding whether to stick with the 31-year-old journeyman as their starter or turn the offense over to rookie No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye.
Can't pull off comeback Sunday
Published: 2024-10-06
Brissett completed 18 of 34 passes for 160 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added a 10-yard rush on his only carry in the Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Brissett put together another middling passing performance overall, mustering his straight sub-170-yard tally to open the campaign. Brissett also failed to throw a touchdown for the third time in five contests, although he did see what could have been a game-winning scoring strike to Ja'Lynn Polk reversed on replay when it was ruled the receiver did not bring down his heel inbounds. Head coach Jerod Mayo appears steadfast in his commitment to not expose rookie Drake Maye too early considering his team's offensive-line issues, so Brissett appears likely to start a Week 6 home matchup against the Texans.
Still the starter
Published: 2024-09-30
Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Brissett remains the Patriots' starting quarterback, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Brissett is coming off another ugly loss, this time completing 19 of 32 pass attempts for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception (a pick-six) in New England's 30-13 defeat by the 49ers in Week 4. He also rushed twice for three yards and one fumble. That actually constituted a step up from Brissett's performance in Week 3, in which he was held to 98 passing yards without a touchdown in a loss to the Jets. Mayo stated that he will "always reserve the right to do something else" and is "always going to do what's best for the organization," per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, but the Patriots aren't ready to turn to rookie first-round pick Drake Maye yet. Brissett will get another chance to line up under center during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins at home.
Commits two turnovers in loss
Published: 2024-09-29
Brissett completed 19 of 32 pass attempts for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding three rushing yards and a lost fumble on two carries in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.
Brissett earned head coach Jerod Mayo's vote of confidence prior to Sunday's lopsided loss, but three fumbles (one lost) and a pick-six might have the veteran back on the hot seat. The two-time Patriot has provided just two touchdowns against two turnovers through four starts with the club that initially drafted him in 2016. Even if Brissett remains the starter for a 1-3 New England club, he doesn't inspire confidence as a fantasy option against the Dolphins in Week 5.
