The New England Patriots have signed quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham to a three-year contract, according to multiple tweets.

Cunningham, who was previously on the Patriots' practice squad, has been trending towards getting an opportunity to play, as mentioned by head coach Bill Belichick. The signing of Cunningham is seen as a potential solution to the team's offensive woes.
