Brian Lewerke

Brian Lewerke became expendable following the signing of Cam Newton on July 8th. Lewerke was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State where he started three seasons for the Spartans.

Fantasy Impact

Lewerke will likely be a practice roster player for the 2020 season as he needs to improve on his accuracy in order to make it at the professional level. The Patriots will enter training camp with Cam Newton, Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer at quarterback.

Per his agent, Mike McCartney, Michigan State QB Brian Lewerke has agreed to a deal with the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

After going through the entire Draft and not selecting a quarterback, the Patriots have now signed two undrafted free agents, Louisiana Tech QB J’Mar Smith, and now Michigan State QB Brian Lewerke. Bill Belichick seems content to go into the season with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer as his two options as the starter, with Smith and Lewerke competing for 3rd string. Lewerke joins the Patriots after being a three-year starter for the Spartans, and last season, he threw for 3,079 yards and 17 TDs, with 13 INTs. It’s a huge vote of confidence for any quarterback Belichick brings on to the roster, as we think his eye for QB talent is pretty good.
