DJ to the Pats … straight up for Mac Jones. Both QBs are ‘damaged’ in their current environments and both need a change and a second, maybe last shot at redemption. Mac Jones was a freshman at Alabama in 2017 when Dabs was the OC.
This would not preclude taking a QB in this years draft by either team …at worst, you’d have 2 backups with NFL starting experience, a situation which would be very unlikely with their current teams.
Wouldn't shock me if Jones retires after next season.
Injuries, lots of money...
^This.
I don't see D. Jones retiring. His latest injury doesn't involve his head or neck. He's also to his credit a ferocious competitor. He's going to want to prove that he can still play in the NFL and compete to be a starting QB. I wish him well on his next team.
Mac is MUCH less athletic that DJ...with a weaker arm.
Only on BBI would this be talked about.
With the ACL no one is taking on the liability of his 2025 injury guarantee.
What happens next? We trade Mac Jones to the Chiefs straight up for Mahomes?
