The Patriots needed to move on from Bill Belichick after finishing out of the playoffs three of the last four seasons, but more importantly, because he assembled what experts consider one of the worst rosters in the NFL from a talent standpoint.
For different reasons, they also need to do the same with Mac Jones. They have to part with their 2021 first-round quarterback.
As MassLive’s Mark Daniels reported, the Patriots don’t plan on picking up Jones’ fifth-year option, and won’t hesitate to move him if the right offer comes their way.
