Mac Jones emerges as trade candidate for Buccaneers amid QB injury

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considering a trade for former Patriots QB Mac Jones to address their ongoing quarterback issues. Currently 0-4, the team faces challenges after Baker Mayfield's thumb injury in Week 3, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks. Reports suggest that Jones, a backup quarterback with potential, could be traded from the San Francisco 49ers for a conditional 2027 third-round pick. If the Buccaneers pursue this option, it may happen before the upcoming trade deadline.
