So, it looks like he's getting the minimum for a "veteran." Not sure exactly how he qualifies as veteran, but maybe because he was called up off the practice squad at the end of last season.

He’s not a veteran, it’s a negotiated contract that he signed. A player does not reach “veteran status” on the negotiated agreement until they have 4 years of accredited service. And that $915,000 would be the figure for a 4 year veteran, as that minimum slides up with each year of service credit. Nathan has some marketability and interest so not hard to not negotiate that level, especially when the only thing that would be guaranteed would be any signing bonus he got.

The problem for Rourke is there is no such thing as competition for playing time anymore. There are franchise QBs and QBs drafted to become franchise QBS, along with veteran backups to help (but not challenge) those two groups. Many teams don't keep a QB3 on the active roster. It seems like if you are not the anointed one on the team you need to bounce around until injuries give you an opportunity--or make you old enough to not be a threat to the franchise QB.

True, because teams have $$$ money invested in those picks which makes it much harder for players like Rourke I honestly think the advanced ages of these new age QB's could help, as well as some backups playing well. So maybe the stigma is less. But it's going to be an uphill battle for sure. Nate is 25. (Kurtis will be 24 next season) Will Levis is 24. Hendon Hooker is 26. Jayden Daniels is 23. Penix is 23. Bo Nix is 24. Sam Hartman is 24.

They also have the #2 pick overall, so they're expected to draft a QB in the first round. With Hones gone Nathan should move up for this season but if the Pats get another QB it doesn't bode well for the long term. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/03/10/mac-...

A *SIXTH round pick. So a 1st round rookie QB isn't as open and shut. Although a new coach always wants to get in there and get his guy, but maybe none of these are his guy? They have to nail this pick, and if Marvin Harrison is there.... no brainer. They could also trade down, because they've got quite a few holes.

There is no chance that they won't add at least 1-2 other QBs to the roster by fall. Will it be a high draft? A low draft? A trade? An UDFA? I have no idea, but for Rourke to earn a position on the final roster, there is no doubt that he will have to earn it by beating out one or two others. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Steve Ragan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Marietta, OH Post Count: 66 Status: Offline     RE: Nathan Rourke picked up by Pats    Posted: 3/12/2024 12:52:21 AM  Just read ON CBS Sports that the Patriots may be trying to sigh Washington free agent QB Jacoby Brissett.

Teams have pretty well filled out their rosters by this point, and as a non-contact position, there aren't many QBs who get hurt in camp.

I fear that Rourke is in the latter category. I wish that he would just go back to the CFL and continue to make a name for himself there. I know that he would make more money as a backup quarterback in the NFL than a starting quarterback in the CFL, but I fear that he will just fade into obscurity in the NFL and not see his potential there. It sucks, but that is the way it seems to work. Go home, Kid Canada, you deserve better than this crap.

Agree he should head north. I'd heard that he made more money last year than any CFL player. This happened while being active for only a handful of games. I could be wrong since I can't find the source again for this. However, playing the practice roster game may be the only way he gets a chance in the NFL. I can't ever see a situation where he ends up playing so well in the CFL that he gets a guaranteed roster spot.
