Patriots quarterback Mac Jones recently had “MJ10” and “Mac10” trademarked.
During his appearance on WEEI’s “Merloni & Fauria” Monday, Jones was asked the reasons behind the two trademarks.
“I just wanted to protect myself, and my team off the field does a great job off the field protecting me,” he said. “So in the future if I ever have to use them, which I don’t have plans on using them any time soon, I just have them protected so that someone doesn’t buy them and then make me pay a lot more money for them.”
Such a move is usually made for athletes to sell their own merchandise. At the very least, Jones is keeping his marketing options open.
Asked also about his plans for the upcoming bye week, Jones was going to rest and start to prepare to face the Colts next Saturday in Indianapolis.
“I’ll probably maybe go out to dinner or something, nothing crazy,” he said. “A lot of guys, that’s what they said, just take some time off and be ready for the next week.”
