The New England Patriots have traded quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 6th round pick. This move comes after the Patriots sought a fifth-round pick for Jones but ultimately agreed to the deal, which is pending until the new league year begins on Wednesday, subject to Jones passing a physical. Jones, a former first-round pick who went to the Bolles School in Jacksonville, had a challenging tenure with the Patriots, leading to speculation about his future with the team. The trade marks the official end of the Mac Jones era in New England, with Jones heading back to his hometown of Jacksonville. There, he will compete with CJ Beathard for the backup quarterback position behind Trevor Lawrence, indicating a fresh start for Jones. The Patriots had been calling around over the weekend, with four teams initially showing interest, but the Jaguars emerged as the sole offer for Jones.
