After a pair of disappointing seasons, Mac Jones’s future with the Patriots is uncertain. The 2021 first-round pick has one year left on his contract before the Patriots have to decide whether or not to exercise the fifth-year team option on Jones’s rookie deal.
The Patriots aren’t planning to pick up Jones’s fifth-year option, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.
But, the Patriots haven’t ruled out bringing Jones back next year with a fresh start under new coach Jerod Mayo, Daniels wrote.
“The quarterback has a clean slate with Mayo and could remain on the roster,” Daniels wrote.
