Adding along the edge was known to be a priority for the Patriots early in free agency. It has not taken long for a deal to be worked out on that front.
Dre’Mont Jones is heading to New England, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. This will be a three-year, $39MM pact, he adds. A strong showing split between two teams in 2025 has resulted in a notable payday for Jones. The max value of this New England pact is $39.5MM, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network; he adds $14.5MM will be paid out in the first year.
More to come…
Wow that’s a lot of money.
He has been a solid pass rusher since he moved to the edge, though.
Pats have the cap space though. Might as well use it. They have a lot of work to do to make sure they arent a flash in the pan.
Still spending only on defense lol
Solid signing. Vrabel feels like someone who will know what to do with him. Very different player, but wild to me that he gets so much less than a guy like Kinlaw got a year ago.
Solid signing, I’m hoping a brown deal materializes in next few days
No thanks. Too pricey for a guy quickly turning into another Mack Hollins type.
