Patriots Waive Quarterback Bailey Zappe After Two Seasons

New England's decision follows a crowded quarterback competition and recent draft picks.

Bailey Zappe, a third-year quarterback, will be waived by the Patriots after two seasons and eight starts.
Zappe's preseason performance included 15 completions on 25 attempts for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
The Patriots' quarterback room now features Jacoby Brissett, Drake Maye, and rookie Joe Milton.
Zappe had previously been waived last year but rejoined the team via the practice squad and ended the season as the starter.
Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will start the season on the physically unable to perform list, missing at least four games.
