Mac Jones drew interest from several teams

Mac Jones didn’t have a great tenure with the New England Patriots. Despite being a 1st-round pick, he definitely didn’t live up to the expectations, and now he’s set to become a backup for the 2024 NFL season.

However, Mac Jones was already anticipating this move. The quarterback recognized that his time with the Patriots was nearing its end, seeking a fresh start to rejuvenate his career once again.

According to reports, there were four teams interested in Jones. However, it was reported that the Jaguars were the only ones who made an offer for the quarterback.

Which teams could have been interested in Mac Jones?

While the specific teams interested in Mac Jones have not been disclosed, several in need of a backup quarterback could have been potential suitors. Teams like the Browns, Broncos, or Raiders might have been among them.
