Patriots Should Make Tough Decision, Trade Respected Veteran

Related Topics: Patriots, Jonathan Jones

Jonathan Jones has been productive, versatile and reliable for the New England Patriots.

But the Patriots would be wise to trade the veteran defensive back before the NFL trade deadline Tuesday.

It would be a tough decision, no doubt. Especially for an organization trying to establish a culture all while they’ve lost captains and leaders in the locker room. Jones elevated into a leadership role despite the fact he doesn’t wear a captain’s “C.” He broke down the Patriots post-win locker room Sunday.

However, there are multiple reasons why it would be the correct move. Those were discussed on NESN’s “Foxboro Rush” podcast published Wednesday.
