Overview
- New England announced the extension Tuesday after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero first reported the agreement.
- Terms were not released by the team, though multiple outlets later reported the deal at roughly $36 million.
- Jones has played about 76% of defensive snaps in 2025 with 36 tackles, two interceptions, nine passes defended and one sack, plus 10 punt returns for 216 yards and an 87-yard touchdown.
- The 2022 third-round pick was a first-team All-Pro punt returner as a rookie, missed most of 2023 with a torn labrum, and returned to earn a captaincy under coach Mike Vrabel.
- His slot role complements Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III, securing a key defender and return threat for the 6-2 Patriots before he could reach free agency.
