With Jerod Mayo as the new quarterback for the new england patriots, it seems like a change at quarterback is almost certain.
Jones made an unexpected appearance at mayo’s introductory press conference sporting patriots’ workout gear, which, according to a boston sports journal article, rubbed his teammates the wrong way. “he was in his workout gear, which is ironic because he cleared the entire locker at the end of the season,” according to a team source. “i mean, come on man.” although the team had already jumped on to the alabama product, who led the team to a 2-9 record, throwing for 2,120 yards and 10 touchdowns with 12 interceptions prior to his benching, it seems that jones’ handling of being called to the bench has not been taken lightly by his teammates.
Jones has been seen by everyone playing, they’ve seen him act like a prima donna, according to the team source. “the team is sick of it, everyone is sick of it.”this latest report comes in stark contrast to jones’ successor zappe’s, who claimed that the 2021 first round pick handled his benching well, adding that he helped zappe prepare for games each week.
Masslive’s mark daniels jumped in to defend jones, claiming that he is in workout clothes because he trains at gillette stadium in the offseason, as he did last year.
The new england patriots will make their decision on a quarterback ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, in which they will take the third overall pick. With caleb williams and drake maye likely to go one and two, the patriots could take LSU product jayden daniels, or gamble with a QB they already have and take wr marvin harrison jr., a generational talent.
