Around the NFL: Green light for Jones
The Patriots uncorked the first big move of the roster cutdowns, releasing Cam Newton. Mac Jones played well enough in the preseason that it was pretty clear he’d be taking over sooner rather than later, but now Jones can be evaluated on equal footing with the other quarterbacks.
