NFL Rumors: Patriots Lose Veteran Cornerback In Free Agency

The New England Patriots officially parted ways with longtime cornerback and two-time Super Bowl champion Jonathan Jones on Wednesday.

Jones is bidding Foxbrough farewell to sign a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders, according to ESPN’s Jeremey Fowler. The 31-year-old shared a mutual interest in a return to New England but first wanted to explore the open market while the franchise continued its free agency spending spree. Now, Jones will take the field for a different team for the first time in his 10-year career, while the Patriots lose their longest-tenured defensive player.
