I mean, he's not vaxxed and apparently has trouble following the COVID avoidance protocol.

He's a potential liability to miss games and they have decided that Mac Jones is their future. Therefore, it kinda makes sense to cut him loose.

Hard to keep an unvaxxed backup

He fell for the classic blunder in sports - don’t suck if you might cause an off-field issue.

That he didn't win the job was the biggest factor but you're sticking out as a liability if you're not able to get through preseason without an issue that only unvaxxed players are subject to.

White liberals are making it more difficult in today’s world for black people to be successful.

Was listening to a recent Bill Simmons pod with Bill Schrager and they predicted this would shift Belichick's feelings on Cam since he wants consistency and if he's constantly having to worry that Cam is going to have to sit out for 5 days straight, and if Mac Jones has actually outplayed him in the preseason, it might prompt him to, at the least, name Mac the starter, or what we saw today.

It certainly played a part.

BB isn’t going to want his starting QB to be randomly out for a game because he went to the wrong testing center. It’s a matter of availability, of course it’s going to factor into the camp battle for a starting job. Especially at that position.

more importantly, that slip up he had last week allowed Mac Jones the chance to rip the Giants a new on in joint practices and pull ahead for the job

Didn't he already get covid? Why does he need to be vaxxed? Natural immunity > vaccine

I mean, did he? I don't remember hearing him having it. Was it last year?

Could be wrong, but I think he did sometimes last year.

That's besides the point. The NFL has rules in play and NE is playing along. And him not being vaccinated would be a problem. Can't have your QB in limbo all season.
Obviously the poor play is the main reason, but not being vaccinated did not help.

I am very much here for this board becoming Cam stans because of his vaccination status. Just in the sake of entertainment

If he was winning games, there's no doubt he'd still be on the team regardless of the vaccine stuff. Mac just beat him out.
