With the end of the 2023 NFL season, fans are eagerly awaiting news from the New England Patriots. The team must decide what they will do with Mac Jones, and it appears they have reached a final conclusion regarding this matter.

Things have not been optimal for the Patriots since 2020. When Tom Brady departed from the team, he left a significant void to fill in New England, and the team has struggled to find a suitable successor for the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Initially, the Patriots turned to Cam Newton, who played for them for just one season. Then, in 2021, they gave Mac Jones an opportunity. However, the former 15th overall pick has yet to live up to expectations, and it seems like his time with New England has come to an end.

In addition to Jones’ situation, the Patriots still need to determine who will serve as the backup to their new quarterback. While Bailey Zappe has a year remaining on his contract, there are doubts about whether he will remain with the team this year.
