Former New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is set to join the Jacksonville Jaguars as a backup after a trade agreement between the two teams. The Patriots will receive a sixth-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft in exchange for Jones.
The trade, which is pending Jones passing a physical and the start of the new league year, will see the Jacksonville native return home to compete for the backup role behind starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jones will be up against C.J. Beathard for the position, with both quarterbacks facing potential roster cuts as the Jaguars finalize their 53-man squad.
