The Patriots mentioned Mac Jones’s name in trade talks with multiple teams this offseason, according to Albert Breer of the MMQB.
“I think what happened was, and I’ve got this on good authority,” Breer said. “While those calls are being made during the combine, before free agency, when teams are talking about names back and forth, Mac Jones’s name came up a few times.”
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported earlier this week that the Patriots were shopping Jones, and mentioned four teams (Las Vegas, Houston, Tampa Bay, and Washington) as potential destinations.
