Ex-Patriots Star Threatens To ‘Smack The (Expletive)’ Out Of Mac Jones

After a promising rookie season, Mac Jones never truly panned out in New England and left the Patriots to make a move entering 2024.

New England traded Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth-round draft choice and brought in Jacoby Brissett, Drake Maye and Joe Milton III to reset the quarterback room.

The revived energy of the group makes for an interesting reflection on Jones' tenure with the Patriots. The new group offers a breath of fresh air to Rob Ninkovich, who recently vented about Jones' attitude with the Patriots.

"He don't like us either," Ninkovich said on the "Dan and Ninko" podcast. "I don't give a (expletive). I will smack the (expletive) out of (expletive) Mac Jones. I don't care. Do you care if someone doesn't like you? Exactly. (Expletive) 'em."

Ninkovich proceeded to mock Jones' vocal tone from his press conferences in his Patriots tenure while ending with a parting message for the former first-round selection out of Alabama.

"I hope he has a great career, as a backup," Ninkovich added. "Makes a ton of money."

Jones will meet the Patriots internationally when the teams clash on Oct. 20 in London.
