Bill Belichick refuses to commit to Mac Jones amid Lamar Jackson trade request

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has once again not ruled out dropping Mac Jones as starting quarterback, stating he'll choose the "best player" for the job.

After impressing in his rookie year with the Patriots, things weren't quite as straight forward for Jones in the 2022 season as he saw a dip in form. A brief spell out due to injury also allowed Bailey Zappe to step in, and the back-up impressed during his four-game cameo as Jones watched on.

There's been a lot of speculation over whether Jones is the right man to lead the Patriots in the future, especially following reports that Belichick wasn't happy with how the quarterback conducted himself last year. Belichick was asked whether Jones would be their guaranteed starter for the 2023 season on Monday, and didn't have a clear answer.
