The Giants have claimed Rourke off waivers from the Patriots, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. After being waived by the Patriots on Monday, Rourke was quickly scooped up by the Giants. The 25-year-old is thus slated to add depth to a New York QB corps that also includes Daniel Jones, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL, as well as Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito.
The Patriots plan to waive Rourke, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Given that the Patriots took two quarterbacks (Drake Maye and Joe Milton) in last month's NFL draft and also roster Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe, it's not surprising that the team elected to part ways with Rourke. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL regular season game, but Rourke did draw 11 starts over two campaigns (2021 and 2022) with the CFL's BC Lions.
Rourke is slated to re-sign with the Patriots, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Patriots claimed Rourke off waivers from the Jaguars back in December, and the 25-year-old will remain with the team in 2024 to provide quarterback depth. At this stage, however, it remains to be seen who Rourke will be working behind this coming season, with Mac Jones' future with New England to be determined and the franchise potentially adding a signal-caller in April's NFL draft.
Rourke was elevated to Jacksonville's active roster to be the team's emergency quarterback for Thursday night's contest, but he was waived the following Saturday. The 25-year-old has since cleared waivers, and he's now back with the Jaguars' practice squad.
