Patriots Cut Every QB On Their Roster Other Than Mac Jones

To the surprise of many fans, the Patriots released second string QB Bailey Zappe Tuesday as part of their roster cuts.

While it caught many fans in New England off guard, the instant reaction was that Bill Belichick was paving the way for Malik Cunningham to take the reigns as the backup QB after dazzling Pats fans during some moments this preseason.

Only problem?

Bill cut him too less than an hour later.

The #Patriots are waiving QB/WR Malik Cunningham and also waiving QB Bailey Zappe, per @jeffphowe and @RapSheet.
