The New England Patriots are taking a cautious approach with rookie quarterback Drake Maye, opting to start veteran Jacoby Brissett. This strategy parallels Bill Parcells' philosophy on developing young quarterbacks.

Maye is focusing on learning from Brissett and has expressed his commitment to helping the veteran while preparing for future opportunities. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Mike Onwenu is giving back to his family after signing a lucrative contract, illustrating the team's personal commitments as they approach the season.

The Patriots have also made moves on the waiver wire, targeting multiple offensive linemen to strengthen their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
