“I believe Jarrett’s gonna be the starter, from the people I’ve talked to,” Zolak said during Tuesday’s “Zolak & Bertrand” episode. “People that I trust, players, people tied to the team, team captains. The way they speak of Jarrett Stidham and the work he has put in.”
The #Patriots are Cam Newton's team now … right? Not so fast 👀
