Earlier this year, the New England Patriots made the decision to part ways with Mac Jones, trading him to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, the quarterback has decided to speak about it, breaking the silence on his exit and giving more information about it.

After several disappointments, the Patriots decided to part ways with Mac Jones. The AFC East team traded him to the Jaguars, where he will serve as Trevor Lawrence’s backup.

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.
