The New England Patriots are trading embattled quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The return appears to be a sixth-round draft pick.
This reported trade will be in limbo for a few days, as it cannot be processed until the new league year starts Wednesday.
This trade brings to an end the saga between Jones and the Patriots, and in many ways puts a period on the end of Bill Belichick's time as head coach. In need of a quarterback following a disastrous stint with Cam Newton in 2020, the Patriots drafted Jones 15th overall in 2021 and immediately pressed him into service.
