Mac Jones will have a clean slate in 2024. Whether or not that’s in New England, remains to be seen.
According to a source, the Patriots plan to not exercise Jones’ fifth-year option. This will make Jones a free agent after the conclusion of the 2024 season. At this point, there’s a growing assumption that the Patriots will look to trade Jones this offseason. That plan likely hinges on the type of asset they’d receive for the young quarterback.
As a first-round pick, Jones’ rookie contract comes with a fifth-year option.
