After Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reported Bill Belichick has been shopping quarterback Mac Jones in trade conversations this offseason, former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he doesn’t buy it.
Gronkowski joined Kay Adams of the Up & Adams show to discuss the speculation around the third-year Patriots quarterback.
“I think that was fake news,” Gronkowski said. “There’s just too much turnover this year. I mean [Belichick] already got a new offensive coordinator that he brought into place. The whole offensive staff was basically turned over this year and then if you’re shipping your quarterback [off] that’s just too much turnover to have in the NFL in one offseason and compete the following year, so I don’t think that’s real news. I think that’s fake news.
