Browns' Bailey Zappe: Added to roster
Cleveland signed Bailey Zappe on Tuesday.Zappe will provide the Cleveland Browns with a third option at quarterback heading into Sunday's game against the Ravens in the wake of Deshaun Watson suffering a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon. Jameis Winston is slated to start Sunday, but if Dorian Thompson-Robinson can't play through the finger issue he sustained in Week 7, Zappe would step in as Winston's top backup.

Bailey Zappe: Picked up by KC
The Chiefs signed Bailey Zappe to their practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.The Western Kentucky product failed to make New England's initial 53-man roster, but he's now found a new home in Kansas City. Zappe has played sporadically throughout his two years in the NFL, throwing for 2,053 yards, 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 14 regular-season contests. He could very well serve as the Chiefs' No. 3 quarterback option behind Patrick Mahomes and Carson Wentz in 2024.

Bailey Zappe: Being let go
The Patriots are slated to waive Bailey Zappe, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.With Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye in contention for the team's starting job and rookie sixth-rounder Joe Milton also in the mix, Zappe was the odd man out in New England's QB room. The 2022 fourth-rounder will now have a chance to catch on elsewhere with a franchise looking to add a backup with some starting experience.

Patriots' Bailey Zappe: Throws for 108 yards Thursday
Bailey Zappe completed 12 of his 20 pass attempts for 108 yards and ran once for six yards in Thursday's 17-3 preseason win over the Panthers.Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Zappe logged a team-high 36 snaps among the New England Patriots' QBs in the team's exhibition opener, while top options Jacoby Brissett (four snaps) and Drake Maye (six snaps) both saw limited action in the contest. At this stage, Zappe is competing with rookie sixth-rounder Joe Milton for depth slotting, with Chad Graff of The Athletic suggesting that in the current context Zappe seems unlikely to make New England's 53-man roster.

Patriots' Bailey Zappe: In line to compete for depth slot
With veteran newcomer Jacoby Brissett and 2024 first-rounder Drake Maye viewed as roster locks, Bailey Zappe figures to compete with rookie sixth-rounder Joe Milton and Nathan Rourke for slotting on the New England Patriots' QB depth chart, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.Alternatively, Callahan suggests that with five QBs in the mix the Patriots could look to move Zappe, who drew six regular-season starts for the team in 2023. For now, however, Zappe remains with the organization that selected him 137th overall in the 2022 Draft. In any case, even if the 25-year-old ends up sticking around as a depth option, he won't have a path to a potential starting role as long as Brissett and Maye are healthy. With that in mind, Zappe could find himself on the radar of other teams seeking signal-caller options once injuries hit.

Patriots' Bailey Zappe: Backing up Brissett
Bailey Zappe appears set to operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jacoby Brissett, who is slated to sign a one-year, $8 million contract with the New England Patriots, John Keim of ESPN reports.Zappe started New England's final six games of the 2023 season after beating out Mac Jones, who the Patriots recently traded to Jacksonville for a 2024 sixth-round draft pick, posting a 6:7 TD:INT in that span. Given that New England holds the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, in what's considered a high-end quarterback class, Zappe could end up further down the depth chart with the potential selection of rookie competition.

Patriots' Bailey Zappe: Terrible numbers in Week 18 loss
Bailey Zappe completed 12 of 30 passes for 88 yards with two interceptions while adding three rushing attempts for 13 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Jets.Zappe actually had more passing yards than Trevor Siemian (70) in this snowy defensive battle, but Siemian didn't turn the ball over as the Jets snapped their 15-game losing streak against New England. Zappe posted a 6:9 TD:INT in 10 appearances on the season, including a 6:7 TD:INT in six starts after replacing Mac Jones atop the depth chart. New England will have the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and could opt for a quarterback with that selection.

Patriots' Bailey Zappe: Three INTs in Week 17 loss
Bailey Zappe completed 16 of 26 passes for 209 yards and three interceptions while adding 37 rushing yards and a touchdown on five carries in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.The second-year quarterback got picked off to end two of New England's first three drives, leading directly to 10 points that put Buffalo in the lead for good after Jalen Reagor had opened the game with a kickoff return to the house. Zappe's final INT became a pick-six for Rasul Douglas early in the second quarter. While the QB settled down after that and kept the New England Patriots in the game, the hole was too deep to escape. The rushing TD was the first of Zappe's career, and he has a 6:5 TD:INT in five starts since replacing Mac Jones under center. Zappe will get one more chance to establish himself as a part of the Pats' future in Week 18 against the Jets.
