Patriots Cut Off Quarterbacks & Leave Only Mac Jones
Mac Jones the Only QB on Patriots

The New England Patriots quarterback room has taken a huge cut. Mac Jones finds himself as the lone quarterback on the roster as the team made swift and deadly moves before the 53-man roster deadline.
Unforeseen Cuts
The Patriots delivered shockwaves by cutting quarterbacks Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham. This decision follows closely on the heels of Trace McSorley’s release just a day prior.
Head coach Bill Belichick’s actions suggest dissatisfaction with the current quarterback depth chart, hinting at potential external options to support Jones, all of which leaves Mac Jones the only QB on Patriots<
The Two Quarterbacks That Were Cut Off
Spotlight on Zappe’s Unexpected Exit<
The spotlight falls on Bailey Zappe, whose departure raises eyebrows. Notably drafted in the fourth round the previous year, Zappe showcased promise in four games, even starting two and securing victories. His impressive performance included over 70 percent pass completions, five touchdowns, and a strong 100.9 passer rating, as one of the NFL stats leaders. Some had even speculated about a potential competition with Jones for the starting role, a notion that didn’t materialize.
Cunningham’s Versatility Unfulfilled<
Malik Cunningham, a multifaceted player, added intrigue to the preseason as the Patriots experimented with his skills across various positions. Having excelled as a four-year quarterback starter at Louisville, Cunningham’s transition to different roles appeared promising, with no NFL injuries holding him back. However, struggles in passing and limited receptions during the preseason led to his release.
Patriots on the Prowl for Another Quarterback
The Patriots are now on the hunt for another quarterback, leaving the question of whether they’ll seek options from the waiver wire or pursue a trade for a seasoned player. Either way, the cuts still need to be analyzed.
