The Patriots are re-signing Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham to their practice squad after the quarterbacks cleared waivers on Wednesday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports.
New England waived both Zappe and Cunningham on Tuesday, leaving them with Mac Jones as the lone quarterback on the active roster. However, no other team put in a claim for either quarterback, allowing the Patriots to bring them back on the practice squad.

Some college football analysts did not appreciate Saban’s tone to the media during this conversation. ESPN’s Paul Finebaum said he doesn’t think Saban needed to decline giving a depth chart and overthought how secret he needed to be to the media.

Oklahoma has the most famous third-string quarterback in college football. Though he’s yet to throw a pass for the Sooners, plenty of fans are familiar with the man who wears No. 14, solely because of his name: General Booty. 
Booty, a redshirt sophomore, likely won’t see that much playing time this season as he sits behind Dillon Gabriel and Davis Beville on the depth chart, but he’s still got a substantial social media following, and he’s parlaying that notoriety into NIL deals.

Before Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young was one of the best signal-callers of his or any generation, he was a fringe starter and occasional backup struggling to find his way in the football world. He languished with the USFL’s Los Angeles Express, the Buccaneers and the 49ers before finally breaking out with San Francisco at the age of 31.
