Belichick's Remarks on Patriots QBs, Mayo, and Jones' Suspension.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick refused to give quarterback Mac Jones a vote of confidence following his struggles in the 2022 season, leading to speculation of a QB competition heading into next year. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, however, expressed his support for Jones. Meanwhile, Kraft acknowledged that Jerod Mayo, the team's linebackers coach and unofficial defensive coordinator, could be a potential heir apparent to Belichick. The Patriots have not yet announced the status of former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, and new receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has incentives in his contract tied to receiving yards.
