The New England Patriots seemingly are making moves at QB.
Tommy DeVito, who spent the entirety of last season as the emergency third-string quarterback, reached agreement on a two-year, $7.4 million deal that includes $2 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
It's the first of what likely will be several moves made to that position group this offseason...

DeVito's new contract all but elevates him into the primary backup role behind Drake Maye, which brings into question the future of Joshua Dobbs -- whose contract does have an out this offseason that would save the organization roughly $3 million in cap space, according to Spotrac.
It's really only a matter of time before they cut bait.
Maye and DeVito would then likely be joined by training camp depth that could come in the form of late-round draft picks, undrafted free agents or veterans looking for an opportunity to steal a roster spot. The Patriots appear to be comfortable rolling with that tandem when it comes time for the start of the regular season, however.
