Last month, former Auburn cornerback Jonathan Jones signed a two-year, $20 million contract extension to remain with the New England Patriots, and head coach Bill Belichick could not be happier.
Following the announcement of Devin McCourty’s retirement, Belichick hoped that the Patriots’ defensive backfield would remain somewhat intact, and he got his wish when Jones signed his extension.
Why is Belichick so elated to keep Jones on his roster for at least two more seasons? He says that Jones possesses qualities that he looks for when finding the perfect players to fill his roster.
