Rob Gronkowski is skeptical about Mac Jones trade rumors
The New England Patriots are in the midst of overhauling their offense for the 2023 season. The Patriots hired Bill O’Brien as their offensive coordinator this offseason. Rumors have come out recently that the Patriots are looking to shop quarterback Mac Jones after a riff happened between the third year-quarterback and head coach Bill Belichick. Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski isn’t sure the reports are valid.
As a guest on the Up & Adams show, Gronkowski called the reports “fake news”:
“I think that was fake news,” Gronkowski said. “There’s just too much turnover this year. I mean [Belichick] already got a new offensive coordinator that he brought into place. The whole offensive staff was basically turned over this year and then if you’re shipping your quarterback that’s just too much turnover to have in the NFL in one offseason and compete the following year. So I don’t think that’s real news. I think that’s fake news. “

The Patriots would likely be more stable with Jones at the helm for next season in what could be a make-or-break year for Belichick.
