The Washington Commanders signed former Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones to a one-year deal worth $5.5million with incentives that could raise that number to $6.5million. It appears as though the Commanders pivoted to Jones as a fall back option after former Jets cornerback D.J. Reed revealed he picked Detroit over Washington. Jones offers a very similar profile to Reed so it makes sense that he would be the alternative option.
So what are the Commanders getting in Jones? Jones is an experienced player with the 31-year-old corner entering the league in 2016 as an undrafted free agent and sticking with the Patriots for nine seasons, winning two Super Bowls in the process.
