The Patriots cut bait with Mac Jones on Sunday for minimal return. That doesn't bode well for the Bears' hopes of getting significant return for Justin Fields,…
A second member of the vaunted 2021 NFL Draft quarterback class was traded Sunday, while another waits in purgatory for a team interested in paying the price to acquire him.
While the Patriots, who plan to draft at quarterback with the third overall pick, jettisoned Jones for whatever they could find, the Bears remain in a holding pattern, hoping to get value for Fields that doesn't appear to be there. These numbers aren't everything. Fields has a higher ceiling than Jones and has proven to be a capable starting quarterback, while Jones will need to be completely rebuilt after his implosion in New England.
What the return for Jones and the overall soft market highlight is that the Bears will likely have to take much less for Fields than they desire, or they can hold onto him past the draft and into training camp in hopes that an injury makes a team more willing to pay a higher price to acquire him.
