The New England Patriots are expected to meet with veteran corner Jonathan Jones ahead of free agency. This meeting will be to potentially work out a contract extension, according to MassLive.com.
Jones has been open to change this offseason, particularly with Mike Vrabel coming on board as the new Patriots head coach. His return would prove beneficial to the team given his experience in the defensive backfield.
The two-time Super Bowl champion has contributed in the secondary since arriving as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2016. In 2024, the now 31-year-old corner recorded 58 tackles, six pass deflections and two forced fumbles. Here's what Mass Live had to say about the meeting between Jones and the organization:
"Cornerback Jonathan Jones is one of the lone candidates this time around. The 31-year-old would like to spend his entire career with the Patriots, but is cognizant that'll require a pay cut. The two sides are expected to meet before free agency opens in March, per an industry source."
Whether Jones sticks around or not, the Patriots need to start considering the future at cornerback. They could still be in the market to sign a free agent, swing a trade or potentially find a younger option in the NFL draft.
