The Patriots’ offense was so miserable this year that Mac Jones began calling around outside of the Patriots’ organization for help, according to former NFL quarterback and current football analyst Chris Simms.
The situation made Jones unhappy, and Jones was openly talking about it during the season, Simms said during an appearance on “NBC’s Pro Football Talk Live.”
“He was telling people he wasn’t happy,” Simms said. “He was calling people about, ‘Hey, can you help us with ideas and do stuff like that?'”
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was not happy with Jones when he caught wind of the situation, Simms said.
