The writing seemed to be on the wall for Jarrett Stidham's time in New England.
The Patriots already have their projected quarterback of the future in sophomore Mac Jones, who seems firmly entrenched in the position with head coach Bill Belichick in his ear.
They also just drafted Western Kentucky quarterback Bailey Zappe with a fourth-round pick. The team also still employs longtime backup Brian Hoyer to provide a veteran voice in the QB room. That left little reason for Stidham to stick around.
In three seasons with the Patriots, Jarrett Stidham played in just eight total contests. He threw for 270 yards garnering two touchdowns. He joins a Raiders QB room that doesn't have much room either. Behind starter Derek Carr, Las Vegas also has former San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns passer Nick Mullens as well as journeyman QB Garrett Gilbert serving as backups.
