Bill Belichick said he “absolutely” still views Mac Jones the same way he did heading into last season when the quarterback seemed to be in a better situation with the coach.
But, he declined to say whether Jones will be New England’s quarterback next year.
“Yeah, I mean look, Mac has been our quarterback for two years,” Belichick said. “And as I tell the team every year, each player, each coach, we all have to reestablish ourselves every year. That’s what this league is. That’s for all of us. ’23 is 23.”
It was a pretty tepid response in comparison to the beginning of the 2021 season when Belichick said Cam Newton was the starting quarterback.
