Are Mac Jones’ days over with the New England Patriots? If so, New England isn’t likely to get any major assets in a trade for the 25-year-old. Several team executives believe that Jones’ trade value is somewhere around a fifth-round draft pick, according to Andrew Callahan and Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Callahan and […]

Eliot Wolf didn’t necessarily tip his hand on what the New England Patriots will do at quarterback this season at the NFL Combine, but it doesn’t sound too great for Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. Speaking to reporters for the first time since reportedly becoming the Patriots’ chief roster decision-maker, Wolf seemed to acknowledge the […]

Mac Jones’ future with the New England Patriots is uncertain, but new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt seems to be open to the idea of the quarterback returning for another season.

The New England Patriots have a lot of work to do this offseason, and they have already made a pair of big moves by replacing longtime head coach Bill Belichick with Jerod Mayo, and promoting DeMarcus Covington to become their new defensive coordinator. Even with those two moves being made, there’s still so much the […]

What do the New England Patriots do with Mac Jones? The former Alabama quarterback had an excellent rookie season, but his performance since then has steadily declined year after year.

When Jerod Mayo’s introductory press conference as head coach of the New England Patriots took place, quarterback Mac Jones was in attendance, and that “drew a chuckle” from one in the organization, according to Sean T. McGuire of NESN. “He was in his workout gear which is ironic since he cleared his entire locker at […]

Recently, the NFL world received a shock when it was announced that long-time New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick would be leaving the franchise after helping guide them to six Super Bowl championships during his tenure there.

Remember how badly people hated the final season of Game of Thrones? Personally, I thought the vitriolic reaction was moderately overblown, but the eighth season was admittedly troubling enough that many viewers believed it had ruined what was otherwise one of the top-tier television programs of the 21st century. That seemed like a total overreaction, […]

Bailey Zappe put up another impressive performance on Sunday, helping the New England Patriots upset the Denver Broncos en route to his second win over four starts this season.

Mac Jones lost his job as the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback in Week 13, with Bailey Zappe taking the reins and starting the last three games.

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe earned the start in his team’s Week 14 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he isn’t disappointing fans. Zappe got off to an electric start, having thrown three touchdowns and 196 yards on 14-21 passing in the first half. Zappe got the Patriots going early with […]

Mac Jones’ third season in the NFL has gone far worse than anyone could’ve hoped, causing him to be benched in four games before being sat for Bailey Zappe last week. As the debate has raged on if the New England Patriots screwed Jones over, former Pats star Devin McCourty took a bit of a […]

The Mac Jones era in New England has been nothing short of disappointing. It hasn’t been officially announced that his reign as the starter is over, but Jones is certainly not the franchise quarterback. Head coach Bill Belichick may continue starting Jones and Baily Zappe on separate occasions, but following this season the Patriots will […]

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched once again last week for another dismal performance, and it appears that Bill Belichick and the Patriots might finally be moving on and dispersing practice reps elsewhere ahead of the Week 13 battle with the Los Angeles Chargers. Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham were the only quarterbacks […]

The New England Patriots quarterback situation is a mess. Mac Jones is not playing well at all, and his backup, Bailey Zappe, is just as bad if not worse.

Rob Gronkowski didn’t enjoy watching his former team, the New England Patriots, in Week 12 on Sunday as they battled the New York Giants. That much is clear from Gronk’s commentary during the game. During his appearance as an analyst for FOX Sports’ broadcast of the Patriots-Giants showdown, Gronkowski didn’t hold back his frustrations on […]

The New England Patriots had another disaster of a game after losing 10-7 to the New York Giants. Mac Jones was noticeably benched again.

After watching Mac Jones throw two interceptions, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick decided to give Bailey Zappe an opportunity. As Zappe was about to enter the game, Jones proved that there were no hard feelings between the two. It’s never easy for a starting quarterback to lose their job. But before Zappe entered […]

The New England Patriots cannot wake up from their fever dream of a season.

The New England Patriots are fresh off their bye week and probably have their most winnable game left this season when they take on the New York Giants in Week 12.

The New England Patriots 2023 season has not gone very well, to say the least. At 2-8 through 11 weeks, the Pats have the worst record in the AFC and could soon be officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Beleaguered quarterback Mac Jones appears inexplicably poised to reassume the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback role despite being pulled in the deciding minutes of the team’s Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

It’s been a blunder of a season for the New England Patriots as calls for Mac Jones’ benching grow ever louder with each passing day. Bill Belichick and the coaching staff finally pulled him late in the last game, so it’s unclear what Jones’ future holds in New England. Despite that, teammate Jahani Tavai is […]

Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is a first-ballot, no doubt about it Hall of Fame player.

On Wednesday, Gronk threw […]

The New England Patriots benched Mac Jones at the end of the fourth quarter in their 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
