It appears Canadian Nathan RourkeB次元官网网址檚 time with the New England Patriots is over.
According to ESPNB次元官网网址檚 Mike Reiss, the Patriots have informed Rourke that he will be waived.
The move would leave New England with four quarterbacks: Veterans Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe along with rookies Drake Maye (third overall pick in 2024 draft) and Joe Milton (sixth-round 2024 selection).
New England claimed Rourke off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars last December and he backed up Zappe late in the season.
Rourke hasnB次元官网网址檛 appeared in any NFL games with Jacksonville or New England.
Rourke, 25, a Victoria native, was the CFLB次元官网网址檚 top Canadian in 2022 after passing for 3,349 yards and 25 TDs in just 10 regular-season games with the B.C. Lions. His campaign was reduced after suffering a Lisfranc ligament sprain in his right foot.
If Rourke doesnB次元官网网址檛 catch on with another NFL team, heB次元官网网址檇 be a CFL free agent.
