A former New England Patriots starting quarterback has been associated with the Indianapolis Colts.
Mac Jones, the former New England Patriots starting quarterback, has a new opportunity with the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. After Trevor Lawrence suffered an injury, Jones received a lot of playing time.
Jones was solid throughout his tenure with the Patriots, but he never evolved into a franchise-caliber quarterback. Unfortunately, things did not end well, and New England moved on.
Jones will be a free agent when the NFL offseason begins. He’ll be seeking for another chance to compete for playing time.
With that stated, Jones has been linked to an intriguing AFC South squad.
Last Word on Sports’ Mike Roberts has identified Jones as a potential fit for the Indianapolis Colts.
“Signing Mac Jones is more realistic,” Roberts stated. “He’ll be a lot cheaper than Darnold, who may get a deal around $196 million this offseason. Jones could replace free agent Joe Flacco, who may retire or sign with another team. Jones could start if Richardson is injured. And there’s a possibility he could beat out Richardson for the starting job during training camp.”
Throughout the course of the 2024 NFL season with the Jaguars, Jones completed 65.3 percent of his pass attempts for 1,672 yards, eight touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also picked up 92 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Jones, at 26 years old, still has the opportunity to turn his career around and reach his starting potential. Landing with a franchise like the Colts might help him accomplish exactly that.
In 52 career games, Jones has completed 65.9 percent of his passes for 10,590 yards, 54 touchdowns, and 44 interceptions. He has demonstrated sufficient ability to serve as a strong backup.
It’ll be interesting to see where Jones ends up. Indianapolis could be a place to look for the former Patriots signal caller.
