The New England Patriots do not plan on picking up quarterback Mac Jones' fifth-year option following the 2024 season, per MassLive's Mark Daniels.
Jones is entering the final year of a four-year, $15.6 million contract that gives the Patriots a fifth-year option for him in 2025. According to Daniels, New England doesn't plan on exercising that option.
"According to a source, the Patriots don't plan on picking up Jones' fifth-year option," Daniels wrote."The quarterback has a clean slate with Mayo and could remain on the roster, but the team won't hesitate to move him if the right deal comes across their desk.
