The Patriots have made all the moves saying they are all in on Mac Jones this year.
The first thing the Patriots did for Jones was get rid of Matt Patricia as offensive coordinator. After the issues the Patriots had on offense last year, this is not too surprising. In his place, the Pats brought in Bill O’Brien from Alabama, where he most recently was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
The next move the Patriots did for this was get rid of the two quarterbacks they had on the depth chart. The Patriots have decided to waive quarterback Bailey Zappe. Zappe, a fourth-round pick in the 2022 Draft, was expected to be New England’s primary backup behind Mac Jones. After this move, Malik Cunningham is expected to be the back.
However, The Patriots also released Malik Cunningham. The undrafted quarterback out of Louisville also played snaps at wide receiver during the preseason. Jones is the only quarterback remaining on New England’s roster. The team can make waiver claims on Wednesday for players who were released as part of Tuesday’s roster cutdown deadline. It’s unclear who the Patriots will add or bring back, but one thing is for sure; Mac Jones is QB1.
