Patriots owner Robert Kraft made a quip about Drake Maye and Joe Milton III at quarterback in his season-ending press conference.

In a statement, Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft said it was one of the hardest decisions he’s had to make. He added that he’s known Mayo for 17 years, but the team’s performance did not go as he hoped.
