Patriots trade Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he'll compete for the backup role [View all]

So, at this point, New England's QB hopes rest on Bailey Zappe, Nathan Rourke and the upcoming draft.

The New England Patriots are finalizing a deal to trade quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.

The Patriots will receive a 2024 sixth-round pick as compensation, sources told Schefter. The trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins Wednesday and Jones passes a physical.

New England owns the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft, where many around the league expect them to select one of the top-rated quarterbacks -- likely a decision between LSU's Jayden Daniels and North Carolina's Drake Maye.

Jones, who grew up in Jacksonville, joins his hometown team as a backup to Trevor Lawrence -- the first pick in the 2021 draft. Jones was selected 15th in the 2021 draft.
