The New England Patriots won't use their franchise tag on cornerback Jonathan Jones before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Jones will become a free agent, but the Patriots have interest in bringing him back on a new contract.
The non-exclusive tag for cornerbacks would have cost the Patriots $18.14 million in 2023 if they used it to retain Jones.
