It has been widely reported within the last day or so, The Patriots are not going to pick up the fifth year option on Mac Jones...
There is even a question as to whether or not he will even be on the team in 2024... when asked about it, Mayo gave almost Belichickian-like response... full of some realities and some platitudes... basically it boiled down to "We'll see"...
Linked in the news section was this NESN article...
Lists Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Denver & Atlanta as potential landing spots for a Mac Jones trade... Can't see any of those teams making a deal for Jones tbh... Tomlin isn't stupid, and with Mason Rudolph there, is there room for Mac? Vegas? pretty much "patriot-ed out" so highly unlikely... Atlanta? last thing a new coach needs is a reclamation project when they will most likely be looking to move up in the draft for a QB... and Denver? Highly doubtful that they can straighten out that cap hell Wilson has them in before they make a move to bring in a project, let alone one they would have to give up a draft pick for after giving up 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third for Wilson & a 4th (plus a few bottom of the roster guys swapped around)...
I cant see anyone giving up anything for Mac... why? because most will think that he will end up being released... I'm sure his agent (if he has any brains/sack) has already started the "release him" process...
so who would give up a pick for him, even a 6th or 7th, at this point?
I can't see it...

Four Teams Patriots Can Trade Mac Jones To As Reclamation Project
Mac Jones is viewed as damaged goods with the Patriots, but there's a chance a franchise out there might see the positives in the QB.
