Quarterback Mac Jones is reportedly facing dissatisfaction among his New England Patriots teammates, contributing to the belief that the Patriots might part ways with him after a challenging 2023 season.
Jones lost his starting position to Bailey Zappe, and the team underwent a major change by replacing head coach Bill Belichick with Jerod Mayo.
A report from Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal highlights concerns from teammates, with Jones attending Mayo’s press conference in workout gear, which some found inappropriate given the context.
“He was in his workout gear, which is ironic since he cleared the entire locker at the end of the season…I mean, come on man…Everyone’s watched him play, they’ve watched him act like a prima donna. The team is sick of it, everyone’s sick of it.”

Despite differing opinions in the locker room, it appears that Jones may be in need of a fresh start. The Patriots, holding the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft, have the opportunity to explore promising quarterback prospects.
