The veteran corner half Jonathan Jones may not be guaranteed to return from the New England Patriots this off-season.
Jones, the most notable agents in New England, joined the free market, according to Karen Guregian de Masslive. The 31 -year -old has spent the last nine seasons in a Patriots uniform, going back to the when the team has signed the Auburn product not drafted at a three -year agreement in 2016. And now, with two Super Bowl rings in his trophy case, Jones will test his market value in free agency.
This does not exclude the patriots of the re-signing of Jones, however, it could encourage the end of its race at Foxborough. Jones will probably seek a contract that New England is not willing to equal, in particular with the needs of the team in other key areas, such as the offensive line and the wide receiver. Thus, while Jones, now after its peak, may not be at the top of the priorities of head coach Mike Vrabel, both sides were rushed.
“I would love (stay in New England)”, ” Jones said to Weei in December. “It is rare for a guy to be in one place all his career. Especially after being not drafted, being here all my career, I feel indebted to be here. I love the fans base, I love the team. And so, it would be great to be a guy who makes his whole career in the same place. »»
Jones compiled 58 plated in totalIncluding 41 solo plated, with six defended passes and two forced escapes on 17 appearances last season for the patriots. Jones stayed for the dark post-Tom Brady period which left the franchise without a victory in the playoffs since his victory for the Super Bowl LII against the Rams of Los Angeles six years ago.
