Los Angeles Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett will serve as the backup for Week 1 and Week 2 of the regular season. This was expected to happen with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended for the first two weeks of the season. Bennett sat out of the preseason finale after starting the first two games. He threw for 437 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions during the preseason. Those aren't exactly great results, but Bennett isn't likely to see the field at all in 2024. Matthew Stafford should be full healthy and ready to go for the season opener. Garoppolo should take over as the primary backup once he's cleared to play, so Bennett is unlikely to play at all unless Stafford gets injured in the first two games.

The New England Patriots continue to receive trade inquiries for quarterback Joe Milton III, according to Mike Daniels of MassLive. Milton was a sixth-round pick in last year's NFL Draft out of Tennessee and flashed in his limited opportunity to play in his rookie campaign. After Drake Maye played just three snaps in Week 18, Milton took over and completed over 75% of his passes for 241 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He added 10 yards and a touchdown on the ground in a win over the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old is one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the NFL, but a lack of accuracy and touch plagued him during his collegiate career at Michigan and Tennessee. That said, his strong performance has put him on the radar for other organizations, and he could be dealt during or after the 2025 NFL Draft. With Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs on the roster, New England could be open to moving him for a mid-round pick.
