Arizona Cardinals consider Mac Jones as potential trade target

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals are preparing for a week four game against the New York Giants while evaluating their quarterback situation.

Sources suggest 28-year-old Mac Jones, currently with the San Francisco 49ers, could be a trade option. However, potential costs and the challenge of moving current veterans complicate the scenario.
