The Facts: The Patriots still don't know if Tom Brady's four-game suspension will stick, but they aren't waiting around to find out. The team on Thursday signed veteran backup Flynn.

Diehards Line: Flynn will join a quarterback room that expects to start second-year passer Jimmy Garoppolo against the Steelers come Week 1.Flynn has spent six of his seven NFL seasons in Green Bay, but the Packers made no effort to re-sign him this offseason. Green Bay saw more to work with in Scott Tolzien, but the Patriots aren't looking for a savior. Flynn is a hard-working veteran who gives New England another camp arm.
