Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman said that the Patriots’ best option at the quarterback position is to stick with Mac Jones for the rest of the year.
“I would stick it out. They’re not going to pay Kirk [Cousins] next year,” Edelman said during an appearance on The Voncast with Von Miller. “You’d rent Kirk if you have a shot unless you want to pay him for the next few years. I think you’ve got to stick with Mac and this is where you see his mental toughness.
“When things are not at their best, a lot of characteristics come out of people and that’s kind of when you want to evaluate them because that’s when you know whether you’ve got a dog or not.
