The New England Patriots reportedly remain interested in retaining Jonathan Jones despite opting not to use their franchise tag on the veteran cornerback.
But what might that deal look like?
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer projected the contract Jones could receive either from the Patriots or another interested suitor on the open market.
Breer hypothesized Jones could sign a deal in the neighborhood of three years and $24 million with $17 million guaranteed. Breer linked Jones to Cincinnati Bengals slot cornerback Mike Hilton, who signed a four-year contract for $24 million in 2021.
