BOSTON — Mac Jones has gone from promising rookie quarterback in 2021 to whining disappointment in 2022 to somewhat of a conundrum in 2023.
On one hand, given the horrible hand Jones was dealt last year with a couple of coaches who had never run an offense before, he should be afforded a get-right year with Bill O’Brien now running the show. With legitimate coaching, and the hope of better weapons arriving, Jones should be able to produce.
On the other hand, there are hints that Jones might be on the trading block. After all, why the persistent trade rumors involving Las Vegas and Jones? Why interview Florida’s Anthony Richardson, one of the top quarterback prospects in the draft?
