As we get closer to free agency, the Patriots appear to have already made a move to ensure one of their key defensive players is on the field in 2023.
According to Ian Rapoport, the New England Patriots and defensive back Jonathan Jones are expected to come to terms on a 2-year deal, which would keep the speedy cornerback with the club through 2025.
That move is significant because Jones is someone who has quietly been a valuable part of the Patriots defense. He’s often drawn the duty of covering opposing teams’ fastest players, matching up against guys like Tyreek Hill and doing a solid job against them.
