The New England Patriots waived both Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham on Tuesday. However, they are hoping to get both quarterbacks on the practice squad, per a report from MassLive’s Karen Guregian.
The release of both quarterbacks was an initial surprise. Zappe was a key figure for New England last season, taking over when Mac Jones suffered an injury and going 2-0 as a starter. The Western Kentucky product struggled in the preseason, going 30-of-51 under center and throwing for 253 yards and an interception.
