Patriots Player Departure Mac Jones traded to Jags for a 6th


Thought he would fetch a 5th but it’s fine. At least you got something, and you clear a few million in cap space off your books and set team expectations early on that Mac is not in the team’s plans.

For Mac, it’s a great situation too. Jacksonville is his home town. Trevor Lawrence plays a similar style to him and hasn’t really lit the world on fire, and he also gets hurt somewhat often so Mac will get opportunities.
 
Quite bizarre he only gets a 6th when he was 4 games out from winning rookie of the year in 2021. Yes, he easily would’ve won had they not gone on their now annual December slide and losing the #1 seed. It’s hard to believe, but they had the best record in the AFC going into the last quarter of that season.

Trey Lance gets a 4th when he did absolutely nothing.

I was hoping Mac went to a team where he could compete.

Maybe the Patriots are trying to set the market for 1st round QBs in the 2021 draft so they can get Fields for a 5th… 3D chess
Good point, lol. Bears will have a hard time demanding a 2nd for Fields when Mac went for a 6th. They’ll be lucky to get a 3rd or 4th.

Didn't hate the kid, but he was a long way from being able to quarterback this franchise, and at least some part of that was the raw deal he got here. Wish him good luck, except against the Pats.

At least the most costly course of action is off the table at QB. Zappe is still here, though.
 
Bill did everything he could to ruin this kid's career with the Judge and Patricia hirings. Good luck, Mac. You deserved better in NE.

BB made Mac cry when he had a sprained ankle? BB made Mac cheap shot other players? Mac has to grow up, let's hope he can do that in Jacksonville.
 
Backup is not a bad gig to have. Paid millions to hold a clipboard and get front row seats to every game.
There's a multitude of significantly more difficult ways to get a paycheck (let alone a 7 figure one) .

File under: “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt.”
 
5 miles away from his high school...Bolles School

Tebow lives in the area....a great mentor for how to stay relevant once your football career washes out

I know what you mean, but Tebow never was repeatedly fined for cheap shots on other players. Mac should concentrate on being a backup.

This board didn’t think that when they were 9-4 and had the best record in the AFC.
