It's unclear whether Belichick is actually looking to trade Jones or maybe just trying to send some type of message to the young QB. Belichick reportedly was not happy that Jones sought advice from outside the Patriots about the team's struggling offense under coaches Matt Patricia and Joe Judge last season.
Belichick was asked in Arizona last week if the starting QB position was Jones' job, or if him and Bailey Zappe would be competing for it. Belichick didn't fully commit to Jones, and responded, "everybody will get a chance to play. We'll play the best players."
