Jets Among Named Suitors for Former Patriots QB Mac Jones Amid 1-3 Start
The Patriots would have to face him twice a year.
The New York Jets have emerged as one of several teams with interest in acquiring former Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, following a 1-3 start to his career. The decision to pursue Jones is predicated on whether the team believes Geno Smith is the long-term solution at quarterback. Jones, who has proven his capabilities in San Francisco, is a potential trade candidate due to Brock Purdy's success with the 49ers.
Jones outperformed his time with the Patriots, leading some to believe he could be one of the top trade targets this season. ESPN recently mentioned the Jets as a possible suitor, noting that Brock Purdy's injury-free status has made it challenging for other teams to match the Jets' interest in acquiring Jones. Other potential suitors include the Arizona Cardinals.
The Jets may opt to pursue Jones if they do not see potential in Smith's future, although the team's current quarterback situation has not been particularly impressive.
