"Maye obviously swept all seven votes for the Patriots, led by beat reporter Karen Guregian, but it's the rest of the AFC East that should grab fans' attention. Aside from Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills, both the Dolphins and Jets had several different quarterbacks predicted as their 2026 starter, including two surprising votes for Mac Jones as QB1 of the Jets."
"ESPN's Adam Schefter reported over the weekend that the San Francisco 49ers are not expected to trade Jones this offseason. Brock Purdy was limited to nine starts in 2025 due to a toe injury, and Jones stepped in and kept their season afloat, going 5-3 as a starter. The 49ers also signed Jones on a two-year, $8.4 million deal in 2025, so his team-friendly contract could offset the value of a mid-round draft pick coming back in a trade."
Super Bowl LX was a heavy loss for the New England Patriots, ending in a 29-13 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Drake Maye struggled against a top defense while the offensive line failed to provide adequate protection and experienced coaches lacked effective adjustments. A mid-fourth-quarter spark offered brief hope. A prediction of 2026 starting quarterbacks gave Maye unanimous selection for the Patriots but showed divergence across the AFC East, with several different projected starters for the Dolphins and Jets. Two experts surprisingly projected Mac Jones as the New York Jets' 2026 starter. Jones performed 5-3 as a starter for San Francisco in 2025 and signed a two-year, $8.4 million deal, making his affordable contract a potential factor in trade discussions.
