Patriots/NFL 2024 Off Season - Mac Jones Traded to Jacksonville - QB Jacoby Brissett signs 1-year contract

[Seidenbergy]

Justin Jefferson could be traded to the jets for a 6th rounder and some here would defend the pats and say they didn't need him because he's not part of their 4 year plan.

 

[RoccoF14]

If you think this is a multi-season rebuild, what do you gain by trading a 4th round pick for someone who clearly won't be a part of the long-term future of the team?

There are certainly receivers out there that I would trade a 4th round pick for. (In fact... a couple of them have already been traded this off-season for less than a 4th.)

32-year old Keenan Allen on an expiring deal with a $22 million cap hit isn't one of them.

100% agree. This Pats team isn't a couple of players away from making the playoffs. This is full rebuild mode, and you don't rebuild by dumping 4th round picks in order to rent aging WRs for a year or two.

The plan is already stupid if they aren't going to use their rookie QB year 1 IMO

 

[RoccoF14]

Have to think this is the Vikings trying to add draft capital to move up for a quarterback.

MN is gonna try to jump into the top 3. #11, #23 and a player like Justin Jefferson would get team's attention...

For what it's worth... the Patriots should have pulled the trigger on either Jerry Jeudy or Diontae Johnson, regardless of fit.

Johnson yes definitely, Jeudy meh. He just seems like one of those guys destined to never live up to his potential

#11, #23 and two future first round picks.

 

[RoccoF14]

#11, #23 and two future first round picks.

They won't offer that. MN Plan B would be to try to move up into the Top10 and grab McCarthy, just in case the Jets are thinking QB....

Vikings want QB

11, 23, next year first

Let’s go !!!!!!

Under underrated & cheap by todays standards and can lineup everywhere

eh, not sure I buy the trying to trade the pick part. If they decided or the players forced them to stick with Fields, why wouldn't they just use #1 on MHJ and call it a day? If they are keeping Fields, the lack of weapons on offense is a glaring need.

Lack of weapons?

WR: DJ Moore
WR: Keenan Allen
RB: Swift
TE: Kmet

That's pretty damn good.

Sure there's questions at WR after this year, but they certainly don't have a lack of weapons.

Fields-9-11-23 plus?, draft coup for Chicago. Chicago never announed they would trade Fields but everyone else did it for them. Caleb Williams the cold windy-city superstar, not yet.

This would mean the Giants are picking a QB, I could see 6 QBs go in the top 20 of the draft.

Who is the 4th QB? Is someone really using a top 6 pick on JJ McCarthy?

From a Giants reporter in New York.



The main position to watch here is quarterback, specifically Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. The buzz is there that he’s the player the Giants want. League sources spoke highly of McCarthy when polled by SNY. One high-ranking executive said he’ll be a "better pro than college player." Another general manager said he has everything teams look for — size, athleticism, arm strength, accuracy, played in a pro-style offense. He added "he’s also very coachable."

[CDJ]

Most dominant defensive player of his era imo

Nothing good can come from drafting for a critical position out of desperation. All you do is end up grabbing a guy that wasn't all that good.

Read Mac Jones' goodbye letter to Patriots, New England

After holding his first press conference with the Jaguars, Mac Jones penned a goodbye letter to the Patriots on social media.

www.boston.com

 

[McGarnagle]

Mac will go down in history as a big disappointment here. But he wasn't Tommy Hodson-bad or Scott Secules-bad. Still, I'm happy to move on from that era, as I'm sure he's happy to leave as well. He and the Patriots are just posting their perfunctory thank you letters on social media out of etiquette.

I can see the NYG wanting to move up as well into the top 3.
Let the bidding begin.

I would be all over your proposal if I was NE. That extra first rounder in 2025 would be huge for us.
Realistically, I see 11 / 23 and a second or third next year.
Odunze or Thomas will be there at 11 and grab Penix at 23.
OT on Day 2.
Giddy up
