The New England Patriots have made a major move by trading quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars after three seasons with the team. The trade is expected to bring the Patriots a sixth-round pick in return.
Jones, who struggled in his third season with the Patriots, completing 64.9 percent of his passes for 2,120 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, faced challenges in his second and third seasons with the team despite a promising rookie year. Tension between Jones and former head coach Bill Belichick reportedly played a role in his departure.
Although four teams were interested in acquiring Jones, the Jaguars were the only team to submit an offer. The Patriots were keen to finalize the trade before the start of the legal tampering period for free agents, which will allow the team to open up $2.7 million in cap space.
Jones, a Jacksonville native, will now return to his hometown to back up Jaguars’ franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The move provides an opportunity for Jones to continue his development while adding depth to the Jaguars’ quarterback position.
The trade marks a new chapter for Jones and the Patriots, as both teams look to make strategic moves to bolster their rosters for the upcoming season. Stay tuned to Celebrity Beauty Buzz for more updates on this developing story.
