“They just don’t have another guy right now that they feel they can turn to.”
With the Patriots currently planted in the cellar of the AFC with a 2-6 record, Bill Belichick and Co. might be staring at a sell-off ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
New England may not have the trade chips in place to net a high draft pick, but players like Josh Uche, Ezekiel Elliott, and other pending free agents could be moved as the Patriots opt to look to the future.
But could Mac Jones be a part of New England’s sell-off ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline?
ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter was asked about such a scenario during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday.
“Mac Jones is interesting, but then that’s New England just cashing out on its season. Because one of the reasons the Patriots haven’t made a quarterback change is they just don’t have another guy right now that they feel they can turn to,” Schefter said.
