PATRIOTS NEWS Marcus Jones 3 Year Extension

[mgteich]

Mike vrabel and McDaniels is making wolf look like a genius

As was the case, last year, this will be the first of several Wolf re-signs that SOME will say is overpriced. Of course, it isn't.

This is not a Wolf re-sign.

This is not a Wolf re-sign.

Of course not.

Do you ever wonder why Wolf is still employed by the team?

 

[TommyD4207]

Of course not.

Do you ever wonder why Wolf is still employed by the team?

Because he still has the rest of the year on his contract, and he does all the media.

He might even stay beyond this year for less - but they're hoping some other team signs him in the offseason.

I have no idea why this is such a difficult concept for people to understand, when it's been explained over and over and over and over again.

Cowden is the GM, Highsmith oversees pro and college scouting. Wolf does media.

 

[RobertWeathers]

True, but if he thought he had a good chance of getting significantly more as a FA, why would he take this deal instead?

He might get hurt - which based on his history is entirely possible. He wanted to stay.

He took the money and removed all risk.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Wanting to stay I guess was a good part of why he took the extension.

 

[Family]

I like your template.

The only caveat I see is Boutte is a very young free agent, he's only 23. If you could get him at what the NBA would consider a 'mid-level exemption' level, $12-14 millionish? That would be just as worth it to me.

That would be of course yes, but it seems 1000 yard young receives are getting more.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Per Field Yates:

Marcus Jones’ 3-year extension with the Patriots is for $36M, with upside to $40.5M. Makes him a top-3 highest-paid slot cornerback in the NFL.

 

[Toofy]

That would be of course yes, but it seems 1000 yard young receives are getting more.

Let's say we don't agree , he still needs to play the 4th year contract on rookie deal and there is a risk of injury too and that derailing the big contract .

Boutte is not jameson williams . I think we should be able to get him for 15-16 million average a year with incentives to bring it to 18 or 19 million . Since he is young.

4 years / 78 million / 40 million gtd. 4th year will still be on rookie contract .

LET'S ****ING GO!

Cowden, that'a a big one.

I'm pretty sure Wolf is the person negotiating contracts for the Patriots. I think Vrabel and Cowden weigh in on the parameters, but Wolf negotiates the deals and signs them.

He is not.

 

[PatsFan2]

Yeah you're right. Look at what Jameson Williams got in Detroit.

I'd pass on that.

I think when you have an elite QB, he can make above average receivers into solid #2/3/4's.

I want to keep the concept of one elite WR, one vet who is a #4, and two young players on rookie contracts as #2/3.

Look at the Chiefs. An elite QB can get away a lot. Build the line and the defense.

Detroit needs better receivers because it's Goff.

Jameson Williams is a True X-WR Former First Rounder he's worth it. Teams usually give their young WR's a Second Contract. We made that mistake with Jacobi Meyers....Juju was really good for us.

 

[TheRainMaker]

True, but if he thought he had a good chance of getting significantly more as a FA, why would he take this deal instead?

Most players want the money today because of the injury risk. In fact, there is so much money at stake, players don't even care about the teams situation and would rather get paid early then have the opportunity to leave for potentially more money/play for a contender. NFL players have turned into Joe Thomas's who are totally fine playing for a terrible team/organization as long as they get paid well.

Brandon Aiyuk is the best example. He kicked and screamed for a new deal and is really lucky he got one. The 49ers showed us how not to handle that situation. What they did was Elliot Wolf esque GM'ing.

 

[PatRiot]

good player and person. i like this signing. great BB draft in round 3. let`s go

 

[Huckleberry1]

He is not.

Where have you seen that Cowden is doing contracts? I googled it and got this:

As of late October 2025,
Eliot Wolf is the Executive Vice President of Player Personnel for the New England Patriots and is in charge of contracts and the overall management of the 53-man roster. However, the contract process is collaborative and also heavily involves new head coach Mike Vrabel.

If you have seen something else post it.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

How?

Your headcanon is not reality. AI's headcanon is even less reality.

Elliot Wolf is being presented as the GM for a reason. So he can do all the media. This has been stated 100 times over by now. The hope is another team is dumb enough to make him a GM after this year. Jonathan doesn't want to screw the guy's career.

I'm not going to post anything, I'm not going to reveal any conversations I've had. Just know, I would not state something, repeatedly. unchanged and with 100% certainty, unless I knew it was the case.

The fact you think he's the GM means it's working as intended...and that you're as deep a thinker as an LLM. Good job.

 

[NormZauchin]

Out of all the Jones we had in 2022, he's the surviving Jones.

There are over two dozen Jones in the NFL. We can pick up a few more before the trade deadline.

 

[NormZauchin]

What’s really sad is when Foxx had his fatal heart attack on set, he was so good at acting out the fake ones that his coworkers on the set didn’t realize it was the real thing immediately. Hope it didn’t make a difference.

Loved his show.

Myles Garrett says don’t forget me! Lots of money, lots of performance on the field, lots of losses on the scoreboard.
