Insider Reports: Nationalists Approaching Culmination of QB Macintosh Jones Exchange to Panthers

 

 For the first time, the Patriots are close to giving away their quarterback, Mac Jones, to the Jaguars. On Sunday, the information originates from ESPN's source which is a trustworthy one, namely Adam Schefter who brought this deal to light. As his sources reveal, the Patriots will get a 2024 sixth-round draft pick during the exchange. On the contrary, it is crucial to mention that the deal will be not officially completed until the start of new league year, set to go on air on Wednesday. Moreover, completion of trade rests on Mac Jones clearing him of a medical examination. The most remarkable aspect of this package is that New England is currently enjoying the No. 23rd pick in the 2021 NFL draft. There are also speculations within the league that they might use this unique chance to take the top the pick of a quarterback in the draft. LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, a player from North Carolina, appear to be the earliest frontrunners for this selection. For the case of Jacksonville resident Mr. Mac Jones, the trade is, in a way, a homecoming. He has been assigned to join the Jaguars’ Rolle to play the backup for Trevor Lawrence, the first overall pick in the 2021 draft. Jones held exactly the same 15th overall pick. In Jacksonville, Jones is anticipated to be a candidate for the No.2 quarterback of Lawerence coming with Beathard. Beathard, who now is the last season in a two-year $4.5 million deal, signed before the 2023 season, apart from the fact that he is a starting quarterback Surprisingly, he was a second string in three seasons with the Jaguars and was beginning of the team during its most important game (26-0) in Week 17 of the last season. Doggone, that was the only win in the remaining six games, concluding with a 9-8 score and being eliminated from the playoffs. Despite leading the Jaguars' quarterback slot, Trevor Lawrence struggled during the previous season. He started to face several injuries during that period, including right-throwing shoulder injury, left knee sprain, ankle sprain, a concussion, and another shoulder issue, disrupting his level of performance. Lacland's absence from the Week 17 game was the game of his career that he missed. Mac Jones's debut with the New England Patriots was of great significance. He debuted in his rookie season as a substitute for Pro Bowl and earned a Pro Bowl selection as an alternate, walking all 17 regular-season games and driving the team to the top of the league with a playoff berth. Oppositely, his next seasons were characterized by a worsening in his performance. The matter of fired offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, basically contributed in slowing down the development of Jones. Last year, Bill Belichick, the Patriots' head coach, switched out Matt Patricia, a veteran defensive coach, for an offensive playcaller. Joe Judge, the ex-special teams executive, became the quarterbacks coach. However, the coaching transition was not as successful as it expected and Jones ended the season with the statistics of 2,997 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The next season, he brought in another former Patriot assistant, Bill O'Brien, to lead the offense. Although this strategy aimed at bringing Jones back to form was taken, it still did not work as well as expected. The 11th game was the last for Jones in favor of Bailey Zappe that resulted in his worst season with 2,120 yards, 10 TDs, and 12 INTs. Currently, Bailey Zappe’s and Nathan Rourke’s depth charts on the quarterback positions are the Patriots. Now with the impending trade, the team locks in another pick in the sixth round for the next draft, stacking up the total picks to eight. With the official announcement of the trade and the start of the off-season, football fans are now left wondering what the possible repercussions of this major change can be for both the New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The real impact of the NFL quarterback shuffling will be understood once the dust settles and the dust settles.
