New England Patriots Won't Trade QB This Off-Season

After a rather underwhelming 2022 season, reports came out over the past week that the New England Patriots could explore the idea of trading starting Quarterback Mac Jones, as they believe that rookie Bailey Zappe has plenty of potential going forward.

While it's still possible in the future, one Patriots source has said "that would happen over Robert Kraft's dead body", showing just how dedicated this franchise is to creating a winner around Jones, who went to the Pro Bowl in his rookie year.

Report: The #Patriots will *not* trade QB Mac Jones in 2023.

"Absolutely, positively not. The would happen over Robert Kraft's dead body." - @tomecurran on the @RichEisenShow

With limited weapons around him, the team will need to make some great moves this off-season, as the AFC East is tough and getting tougher, but if they can put the weapons around him, there's no reason why he can't bounce back in a big way.
