Patriots trade Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he'll compete for the backup role

So, at this point, New England's QB hopes rest on Bailey Zappe, Nathan Rourke and the upcoming draft.

The New England Patriots are finalizing a deal to trade quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.

The Patriots will receive a 2024 sixth-round pick as compensation, sources told Schefter. The trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins Wednesday and Jones passes a physical.

New England owns the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft, where many around the league expect them to select one of the top-rated quarterbacks -- likely a decision between LSU's Jayden Daniels and North Carolina's Drake Maye.

Jones, who grew up in Jacksonville, joins his hometown team as a backup to Trevor Lawrence -- the first pick in the 2021 draft. Jones was selected 15th in the 2021 draft.

if he'd had a better team around him. The same can be said about every quarter back.

when Trevor Lawrence is injured. Not a great receiving corps there either, but a step up from New England.

However, the Pats had a much better O line than the Jags last season. Proof here:
