The New England Patriots have reportedly been looking to trade quarterback Mac Jones to potentially pave the way for a move for Lamar Jackson.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been shopping Jones to multiple franchises throughout the 2023 offseason. While the full list of potential destinations or the extent of the negotiations isn’t known, the teams linked with a move include the Las Vegas Raiders, Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Commanders.
Jones enjoyed an impressive rookie season where he finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year award and was named to the Pro Bowl after leading the Patriots to the playoffs for the first time since Tom Brady joined the Buccaneers. However, he struggled to get to grips with the offence in 2022 as the Pats failed to reach the postseason on the back of his inconsistent play amid poor offensive staff and deteriorating relationship with Belichick.
