Making his weekly appearance on WEEI’s “Jones & Mego With Arcand,” Zappe was asked how he’d feel if the Patriots elected to go that route.
“If that’s what they decide to do, that’s what they decide to do. I’m looking forward to competing against whoever comes in here for that job,” Zappe said. “I’m gonna do the same thing I did last offseason: Get ready to be the guy and if my name’s called then I’m gonna do the best thing I can to help the team win. Hopefully it is. Hopefully we get after it next year.”
Zappe will start the finale at Gillette Stadium, but it’s unknown if that will be the case in 2024. This is the first time since being drafted by New England that he’s gotten an extended look at quarterback. The turnovers have been an issue for the 24-year-old — he threw three against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 — and he’s 2-3 in five starts.
Sunday might be Zappe’s last chance to give the Patriots reason to bring him back in 2024.
