The New England Patriots stunningly cut veteran Cam Newton Tuesday, having decided that rookie Mac Jones will be their starting quarterback.

Newton ended up only being with the Patriots for one season, going 7-8 as their starter last year, their first without Tom Brady in two decades.

Jones, who won a national title last year at Alabama, was taken by the Pats with the 15th pick in the first round of April’s NFL Draft.
